What this quiz should check

Topic: Citing several pieces of textual evidence for what a text says and implies (RI.7.1). A good grade 7 quiz on this asks students to:

• Cite several pieces of evidence that support an analysis of what a text says
• Support an inference with evidence from the text
• Choose the strongest evidence instead of the first line that fits
• Explain how each piece of evidence supports the claim

Misconceptions worth a question

• Dropping in a quotation with no explanation of how it supports the answer
• Using background knowledge instead of the text as proof
• Citing only one piece of evidence when the question asks for several

Teacher tip: RI.7.1 asks for several pieces of evidence for both explicit meaning and inferences, so tell the AI to write a short original passage first and to make every question need two cited details.

Always check the AI's answer key before you give the quiz to students.
