With this proposal you can work on reading comprehension in Year 6 of Primary through questions about a text and get automatic marking with immediate feedback.

Students will read a text and answer different questions that will check whether they identify the main ideas, understand the vocabulary and can interpret the information in the text.

Exercise 1:

Explain in your own words what a Roman city is. Write 3 or 4 sentences saying who built it, what it was for and what it was usually like (its streets and buildings):

Exercise 2:

Write a list of at least four things you could find in a Roman city (for example, types of buildings, important places or services the inhabitants had). You don't need to put them in order:

Exercise 3:

Recall and write what happened to the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 AD. Explain in 2 or 3 sentences what destroyed them and what happened to them:

Go to Home → Create activity → Fill in the basic information

Upload or select the text (if you need to do reading comprehension on a reading, remember to upload the reading in question as theory content - it can be in different formats: pdf, .doc, .ppt...). This way, Mathew will create the questions and be able to assess them using this content as the source of knowledge.

In this case we want to assess whether the student has identified the concepts in the text, so we select level 1 'Identify and memorise concepts'.

We set it to generate 3 exercises for us:

You can also create a simple rubric to assess comprehension or other criteria.
