the teacher will end the last 15-20 minutes of class with a Kahoot! activity. Students will need a device in
order to participate (i.e. a smartphone, tablet, or laptop). The Kahoot! activity presents questions in relation
to content about Feudal Japan. Students will demonstrate test preparedness individually. Students will
compete with each other to achieve 1st, 2nd and 3rd places by demonstrating content mastery and acquiring
points for every correct answer given. 1st place will receive 10 bonus points on their test, 2nd place will

Types of questions/prompts (Check all that apply):
Multiple choice Multiple Select True/False Yes/No Short open-ended response
or fill in the blank Longer open-ended response
Provide samples of questions/prompts to be given to students: Who held the most Power in Japan?
Which order is the correct chain of command?

Right/Wrong Answers: Will there be right/wrong answers to these questions? Yes No


Mixed (Some will have correct answers, others will not.)
Immediate corrective feedback:
Will you pre-select correct answers to some or all of the questions and display correct response to the class
after the SRS activity? Yes No
Why or why not? After the allotted time for each question has expired, the teacher is able to go over the
question and explain to students which answer is correct, which is wrong, and why.
Use of data: What data will be collected as a result of this activity? How will it be used and by whom?
(For example: Will information collected from this activity be used to award a grade? Will the individual
information collected be shared with students and/or parents to help them monitor individual progress?
Will you discuss the aggregate, anonymous data with the whole class to help them learn? Will you use data
to differentiate instruction for students, if so describe how.) All data collected is immediate. After all
participants of answered the question or the allotted time has expired, Kahoot! will display the correct
answer and the number of students who chose each answer. This enables the teacher to observe where the
gaps of knowledge are and where they may need to focus on in order to bridge that gap.
Describe what will occur after the SRS activity: After the SRS activity the teacher will quickly
summarize the unit review and ask students if they have any last questions before they are dismissed. After
all questions have been answered, the teacher will remind students to study for their unit exam and to come
prepared tomorrow.
Describe your personal learning goal for this activity. (For example: What are you trying that you have
not tried before? What do you hope to learn from this activity? How do you hope it will help students learn?
You must design something that will help you learn something new. Honor system!) : My learning goal for
this activity is for students to demonstrate basic knowledge of the Samurai of Feudal Japan in order to
connect the basics of Japanese Feudal society to the broader concepts discussed in class such as the policies
of the Tokugawa that were rooted in the Samurai class. In addition, I am interested in seeing how effective
a simple SRT tool such as Kahoot! is an enhancing student engagement as well how well it influences
students to access prior knowledge.
Other comments about your SRS activity (optional): Kahoot! is an excellent tool that can be used for a
a variety of purposed and subjects. It can be utilized to access prior knowledge, test preparation, a
discussion starter, and even as an opener to a new unit to gauge pre-established knowledge. It is simple and
easy to make and an excellent resource.
