1. Arrange students into groups. Each group needs at least ONE person who has a mobile device.
2. If their phone camera doesn't automatically detect and decode QR codes, ask students to
4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.
Question | Answer |
| 1. If a student answers the first question in any part incorrectly, what do you do next? | Model the correct answer and score it as incorrect (or leave the score blank) | 2. What is the score cut-off for Never EL (LEP) on the Kinder Oral (Listening and Speaking) W-APT in NC? | 27 | 3. In Part A of the Listening test, the student is asked to point to items in the picture. In Part A of the Speaking test, the student is expected to produce________________________ ____________________________. | single words/phrases; any reasonable response | 4. In Part C of the Listening test, the student is asked to point to items in the picture that are described by the Test Administrator. In Part C of the Speaking test, the student is asked to describe action in the picture (What is the bird doing? What is the baby doing?) What type of language would you expect? | single words/phrases/possibly sentences; a single word is appropriate for the design of this question and is a reasonable response | 5. In Part D of the Listening test, the student listens to brief stories about Maria and her family going to visit Grandma. The student then has to point to the pictures of what happened first and what happened next. In Part D of Speaking, the student is asked to retell the two actions in sequence. If the student points to the incorrect pictures in the Listening section, but tells the actions in sequence correctly, what do you do? | Go back and score the Listening as correct; then score the Speaking as correct. | 6. In Part E, the student hears a story with a sequence of events that is graphically supported with pictures. In Listening Part E, the student is asked to point to the correct picture that shows the end of the story and in the Speaking part of E, is asked to retell the story. If the student does a great job of describing the pictures, but then leaves out one picture, would the student response be scored as correct? | A student receives credit for retell according to the completeness of their response…that means that each picture sequence must be described. Extended discourse is also expected; they can’t point to each picture and tell you a single word. | 7. In NC, for a second semester kinder, the minimum reading score required to be Never EL (LEP) is 14; this is reading simple phrases. True or False? | False; While a 14 or higher is considered proficient as a second semester Kinder, this is reading simple sentences. | 8. In Part C of the Writing Test, students are expected to write single words. If the student wrote, “bog” for dog, would you count this as correct? | Yes, letter reversals are developmentally appropriate for Kinders. | 9. In Part C of the Writing Test, students are expected to write single words. If the student wrote, “cit” for kite, would you count this as correct? | Yes, inventive spelling is developmentally appropriate, and the hard C makes the same sound as a K. | 10. In Part E of the Writing Test, students are expected to write sentences. If the student wrote "DARKLOWRY", would you score correct or incorrect? (The picture shows students coloring). | The student uses inventive spelling and switches letter order (LO) for: They are coloring. When inventive spelling is used in a sentence with no word boundaries, comprehensibility is impeded. Score as incorrect. |
