Test Taking Strategies / Follow Directions Prank/Fake Quiz
This quiz is a fun and funny way to get students to realize they need to pay attention to directions.
There is a list of numerous steps to complete, which can actually be fun for students. HOWEVER, the first step says to "read all directions before continuing" and the last step says "only do..." so most students mess this up and do all the steps as they go along. Then you can give them the lesson at the end :)

Are you doing close reading in your classroom? It takes a lot of planning and preparation to produce a quality lesson that focuses on the 3 different levels of questions. This template will help you organize your lesson over 3 days. It is editable so you can use it over and over again. It was very beneficial to me with how to plan out a close reading lesson but more importantly, it provided a space for me to reflect on each day's lesson so that I can improve on the lesson for future lessons.

IQ Test (teaching students to follow directions)
This is a fake test that simply asks students to read ALL questions before answering anything. The final question asks them to turn in the paper for 10 extra credit points if there is no writing or erase marks on the paper. There are questions such as: "write your middle name", or "solve for X when 4 - X = 2". Can be easily modified for any grade level. It is a fantastic way to remind students of the importance of following directions. Works for high schoolers and adults, too!I remember my
