29. Task 2 – Creating effective multiple choice questions In your subject areas you will have 15 minutes to construct 5 multiple choice questions. Base these 5 questions on 1 lesson only. Consider the information you have received today and think carefully about the key knowledge you would want your students taking away from the lesson. You will then send them via email to get some feedback on the questions you have constructed in this session. 1. Five options 2. Plausible distractors 3. Unambiguously wrong distractors 4. Misconceptions as distractors 5. Multiple correct options

30. Plenary Alone, try the multiple choice quiz again. This will help us to work out which concepts to revisit in future CPD sessions. Write any questions you have about knowledge, memory, knowledge maps or multiple choice questions at the bottom of your quiz.
