Homework (due May 31) [updated]

 

[update] I forgot to mention that I also need the correct answer (it’s added to the list of requirements below, as number 5). When I could remember the correct answer for the example questions, I have marked it by enclosing the letter for that answer in parentheses.

 

Write one question about yourself. Your question should…

1 be one that nobody in the class knows the answer to.

2 have 3 or 4 answer choices.

3 offer some basis for guessing correctly (in other words, it shouldn’t be a question like “what is my birthday?” that only allows random guesses).

4 be as interesting or funny as possible (I know this might be difficult…).

5 include the correct answer.

 

 

To give you some ideas, here are examples of interesting questions that students (names changed) in the past have given me:

 E-mail your question to me at minn.song@gmail.com by May 31. 

 

I hope everyone will write a question. I will use your questions for our last-day activity, which will be much more fun if everybody turns in a question (they will naturally be more interesting than anything I can write about you).
