Student Activity and Engagement:
Using Quizlet, teacher will prepare a set of quiz questions on the human immune system and diseases at the end of the topic for student revision and evidence of learning. As an additional homework activity, students will be instructed to use Quizlet and create a few quiz questions on the lesson topic to bring to the next class. Students will undertake each other's quiz as a form of interactive peer assessment which provides a much more engaging learning opportunity rather than just undertaking the teacher's quiz with pen and paper.
