Mrs. Zana’s Class

This is a random list of ideas. Feel free to develop your own. Add any of your additional ideas or any questions to the comments below. See me if you will need supplies or photocopying. Remember, your idea must teach the class the concept and be entertaining. You don’t get to give boring multiple choice tests. That’s my job. That’s why I’m the teacher:) When you grow up, finish college, and get a credential, you can give bubble tests and write on giant Postit notes too. What fun awaits you! For example:

1. Mrs. Zana’s tone in this post is. . .
a. threatening
b. sad
c. humorous
d. complicated
