Using scissors, I then cut out the answers but leave the questions. To save paper, I print one quiz on the front and the other quiz on the back. In class, I pass out the questions without the answers to each student. Next I choose one student to run the computer and projector while I wander around the classroom checking work. I have a student select the BrainPOP movie and turn on the closed caption. Sometimes I project the movie without sound and have the students take turns reading the closed captions. As needed, I ask the one student to pause the movie for any discussion, questions or rewinds. During and after the movie, you can have the students fill in their answers or else at the end of the movie select the Review Quiz and go over the answers with the whole class. In 50 minutes it is possible to do two BrainPOP movies and quizzes. As students leave the room, I collect their work.

I am using idea of leaving copies close by at a computer station... saves the student effort of running to a networked printer for an individualized sheet.... and multiple students can take a quiz together saving time. Students lock in their answers and then majority rules on which choice to choose to move on to the next question. Just remind your students to keep the cheers and jeers down as they take their quizzes together!
