Prepare 9 to 10 objective questions about the details of a text.
Group the students into pairs with each student having a copy of the
text.

questions for each pair.
Give each pair question number one only.
When you tell students to start, they should race to find the correct
answer to the first question,and then one partner should run their
written answer to your deal to show it to you.
If the pair is correct,give them question number two,and so on until a
group has answered all of the questions correctly.
For more advanced students,you can mix up the order of your questions
so that they do not follow the order in the text.
