A factual errors task or 'find and fix' is a good example of how teachers can test student knowledge.
Give students an account based on a topic which has been covered. The account will contain a set number of errors. The students must read the account carefully, then identify the errors using a highlighter.
Using their knowledge of the topic, they must then give the correct facts. The teacher should take feedback, and ask questions to generate discussion.
Consider assigning an extension task. For example, get them to go online and research a related topic and then write their own account.

Walkabout Bingo is a fun strategy for getting students to work with each other.
Every student gets the same set of questions on a topic e.g. Medieval Life. The students walk around the classroom and get the answers from each other.
Every student gets the same set of questions on a topic e.g. Medieval Life. The students walk around the classroom and get the answers from each other.
A student can only get one answer per classmate. Therefore, if there are eight questions, the student must get eight classmates, answering one question each. The answers and the names of the students who provided them are recorded.
The first student to get all correct answers and call BINGO, wins! Consider giving a reward e.g. subject department bookmark.
The activity continues until everyone has a full set of answers. Follow up by taking feedback.
This strategy can be used at the beginning, during, or at the end of a lesson or unit of learning. Try this strategy by using the resources below. Enjoy!
