Quizizz Lesson Plan: How to Get Started
Provide students with a reading passage to focus on during the lesson. You can choose a passage from any subject you are teaching.
Once you have the passage, decide whether you will use the text version, read it to students and place it in an audio or video file, or capture the passage as an image. These are the options within Quizizz to display what you select.

Students will participate in the lesson within the Quizizz platform based on the questions you have developed. Since the focus is on reading comprehension and critical thinking, add a mix of open-ended and fill-in questions. You also have the option of using multiple choice questions, which may work better for high school students, or to start with as you progress to more difficult questions.
If you want to use ai to develop questions, you can do so once you have uploaded the passage to Quizizz. You can tell the ai how many questions you want and what types (multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and open-ended). Quizizz allows you to change the language if it is useful for a student or for the class to change the content from English.
Before using ai-generated questions, review and make sure the questions ask what you are looking for, and if not, revise them accordingly. Pay close attention to the wording and any bias that may be present.
Quizizz has a student experience option where the passage (text, audio, video, or image) will remain on the screen while the questions appear. Give students the appropriate amount of time, depending on the type and number of questions included.
Share learning
Have students share their Quizizz experience with the broader classroom community. This gives them the opportunity to see how others may have interpreted the content differently. It might be helpful to use a rowed or similar educational technology tool for students to contribute and share their learning. If you want students to verbally discuss and reflect on their learning, consider using voice thread.
