FEEDBACK
dmu2girl
The title for this assignment is misleading. It says Act Two Quiz, but it's actually a reading quiz for ACT ONE, with five vocabulary questions for Act Two.

Always great to add to my ideas for projects. Thanks!

Very basic in intent. Still, it's a creative idea that I hadn't thought of which reaches a different kid in my classroom. I can build on this idea now and have something really wonderful. Thanks.

The product description was not descriptive enough. This is a half page document with 5 vocabulary words and 5 definitions to match with. The description made it seem as if the quiz was more substantial.

Kara Runge (TpT Seller)
Majority of these questions are basic comprehension questions. Great for lower performing readers and would be great for gened teachers to use as alternative assignments for Sped students, especially in mainstream only schools.
If you included an answer key, I would have happily paid a little bit more. Answer keys are useful in the sped resource room as many teachers / para-educators have multiple students, reading multiple texts, to support and aren't necessarily 100% familiar with the texts.

Thorough list of vocab terms / chapter, including page numbers and dictionary definitions. Perfect for fifty cents!

A pretty basic reading guide. Only literal questions.

Tracy Fordham (TpT Seller)
The perfect solution to creating a fun "mini-project" to use with our unit focusing on mythology. I'll "tweek" this to make it a little less of a research paper and more of a research based oral report! Thanks!

This is only a vocabulary quiz with nothing about reading comprehension.
