Did you know we model our multiple-choice questions after those we see on state tests? We include interactive quizzes with every issue of Upfront. You'll also find interactive activities with short-answer and constructed-response writing questions.
When you see the Interactive button on one of our activities, click it and you'll be prompted to make a copy of the quiz that you can assign in Google Classroom! You can even customize and edit the quizzes before assigning them.
Students' responses will be captured and sent to you automatically. Multiple-choice questions are scored automatically, and you can review and grade the writing responses. You can view and print reports at the student- and class-level, or even on a question-by-question basis.
