Bonus(es):
Go Rogue: You do you, boo. Toss that task all together. Start with some frontloading of vocabulary. Then read through one part of a written text (first few sentences of an article, poem or story, one small part of an infographic, etc). Ask some comprehension questions (you'll find them on the task), then give a few minutes of independent reading time. Students don't get enough of this. Have them annotate, have them write one sentence about the main idea, have them mind map the text. My students' favorite? Writing on their desks with expo markers.
EdPuzzle: This video quiz creator makes creating an interpretive task a breeze for short videos. Bonus: kids can stop the video and re-watch if they are unable to answer the question right away. Extra bonus: view when students complete the assignment, how many times they watch the video, and a slew of other features that make grading quick and easy.
