Hints
Are HINTS ReTeaching?
Hints are given to focus students on correcting the questions they got wrong on the group scan document. Types of hints include:
- Grade Hint – Share with the group the number of questions they got wrong on the group scan document.
- Section Hints – Share with the group the number of questions they got wrong by section. For example, your group missed 3 questions between numbers 1 and 5 and 2 questions between numbers 6-10 on the group test or your group missed 5 questions between numbers 1 and 10 on the group test.
- Direct Hints – Share with the group the questions they got wrong. For example, your group missed numbers 1, 5, 7, 8, 15, and 17 on the group test.
Choice Checks
Teams can ask if an answer choice is correct/incorrect anytime while completing CrissCross.
