Think about concepts you have covered in class. The questions you write need to be pertinent to the material that has been previously covered. Go over previous lesson plans to help refresh your memory.
Decide what type of question you would like to ask. A multiple-choice question is a question with multiple provided answers. The student responds by choosing the letter that corresponds to the correct answer. A fill-in-the-blank question is a question in which you leave out a key word and the student inserts the proper word into the blank. Essay questions provide a short writing prompt that encourages students to write a lengthy response. Each question type encourages the student to think and respond in different ways. The type of question you select is guided by the response you wish to generate. For example, fill-in-the-blank questions are ideal for vocabulary words, titles of artwork, movements or artist names.
Compose a short, concise question. Questions that are overly wordy can confuse students. Make sure there is only one concept per question; questions with multiple concepts can confuse students, leading to incorrect responses.
Avoid writing questions that show a bias. Biased questions do not allow students to fully demonstrate their understanding of topics.
