[CALIBK12] AR quizzes for Brisingr and Identical

[Doyle_Tony]

So far no hits on the teacher-made quizzes but I did receive an interesting bit of information about Renaissance Learning and Ellen Hopkins' books:

"They also refuse to write a quiz for Ellen Hopkins' book Impulse.  They replied to my emails stating that their research shows that quizzes  on books such as Hopkins' are difficult to pass - consequently, they are not writing any more quizzes on books written in poetic prose"

I think that stinks.  It is a fast growing genre and Renaissance Learning should figure out how to write quizzes for them.  Maybe if they received a couple hundred e-mails from us they might change their minds.

Something to think about,
Tony

Subject: SEC: AR quizzes for Brisingr and Identical

Does anyone have teacher made quizzes for Paolini's Brisingr or Hopkins' Identical that they are willing to share?  I am stunned that Renaissance Learning doesn't already have quizzes for these two.  Neither title is high on my "Must Read" list so I won't get around to writing a quiz for them any time soon.

Thanks,
Tony
