Test Taking Strategies / Follow Directions Prank/Fake Quiz
This quiz is a fun and funny way to get students to realize they need to pay attention to directions.
There is a list of numerous steps to complete, which can actually be fun for students. HOWEVER, the first step says to "read all directions before continuing" and the last step says "only do..." so most students mess this up and do all the steps as they go along. Then you can give them the lesson at the end :)

Primary GATE with Caldecott -- "Two Bad Ants" by Chris Van Allsburg
If you're like me, you can't easily find activities designed for primary grade gifted learners. This one hour activity, however, is specifically designed for Chris Van Allsburg’s "Two Bad Ants" and primary gifted and talented students—nurturing talent for both verbal and nonverbal high ability students.
In this activity, students use critical thinking and creative perspective-taking to create a “mystery drawing” similar to the close-ups in "Two Bad Ants."

IQ Test (teaching students to follow directions)
This is a fake test that simply asks students to read ALL questions before answering anything. The final question asks them to turn in the paper for 10 extra credit points if there is no writing or erase marks on the paper. There are questions such as: "write your middle name", or "solve for X when 4 - X = 2". Can be easily modified for any grade level. It is a fantastic way to remind students of the importance of following directions. Works for high schoolers and adults, too!I remember my

Starting Point for Literacy Coaches
I created the Literacy Coach Checklist 5 years ago to help develop my "coaching eye." Since then, it has been used as a tool to foster the coach/teacher relationship and to provide direct feedback to teachers during the debriefing process. This process helps teachers become more reflective and because of this has impacted student learning. Since then, I have trained numerous new and experienced coaches using it.
