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 :)

Once the mirrors are filled out, you can do a number of things with them:

For some of my lower-level classes, I made sure that as soon as they were finished brainstorming, we kept going (down-time leads to distractions :) ).
