St. Patrick's Day Reading Comprehension & Questions includes a quick 2-page reading comprehension exercise and accompanying quiz for St. Patrick's Day.
Many of my students don't know a lot about St. Patrick's Day, which isn't a common holiday where I am, so I put together this reading comprehension exercise to help them get a better understanding of the holiday and associated customs.
The 2-page, 400-word reading comprehension file covers three topics: History and Origin of St. Patrick’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day Traditions, and Irish Mythology and Symbols of Luck. A vocabulary list is included at the end of the file.
The students can then use the accompanying quiz to test their understanding of the reading comprehension file. There's a 3-page printable quiz file that can be printed out and given to students, and a self-checking digital quiz file that can be used for going through the quiz questions with students. There are a total of 15 quiz questions. (Answer key is included.)
I don't tend to pass out the printed quiz for smaller classes. What I usually do is use the digital quiz slides to go through questions with students, and sometimes I'll divide them into teams and have a quick head-to-head competition.
Each quiz slide shows one question and four answer options:
And when you click on the slide again the correct answer is highlighted:
This makes it easy for students to quickly see if they've got the correct answer or not, but you do need to be careful not to double-click when going to the next slide, because clicking too many times will reveal the answer prematurely.
