Quizizz can be used as a prediction activity to find out what students already know about a topic or it can be used as a review to find out what was learned. You can create and play quizzes live or for homework. They can be accessed by the students using any device with a Web browser including a laptop, iPad, iPhone, iPod, Android, Chromebook, or desktop computer. An app is NOT necessary to participate in a Quizizz activity.

As of August 2022, there is only a limited free version. To use all the bells and whistles, you will need to use the Super Version which costs $96.00 annually. As long as you don't need many games, you can get away with using the free basic version.

In this activity, students use the Essay Map online tool as a pre-writing activity to help structure and organize their writing. The tool helps students understand the relationship between the introduction, main ideas, supporting details for the main ideas, and the conclusion and allows them to move back and forth through the map changing and adjusting their essay outline as needed.
