What does the “D” stand for in D-day? This is a question that you will be asked every year you teach US History. I found a quick little quiz about D-Day, which includes the answer to that question. The quiz is just a quick 8-question quiz, but you can use it for several things:
- Use it before the lesson to gauge prior knowledge
- Use it as a warm-up or discussion starter
- Copy and paste it into a Word document to create a quick assessment
- Allow students to complete the quiz on a phone or other device as extra credit
The one downer about this quiz is that it doesn’t actually grade the answers; it just gives you the correct answers via a link at the bottom. So, you need to have students write down their answers and compare. If you are doing this in front of the class, the best way would probably be to have the quiz open on one tab and the answer page open in another tab for quick access. It’s a small resource, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t useful. Anything that can save you time and engage students is always a plus!
