Extensions

In this extension, you will add a table of contents to your study guide. A table of contents helps you see what is in the study guide at a glance.

It also allows you to use a link to jump to the section you want to read, instead of scrolling and scanning the entire document.

To begin, open your study guide.

Check to make sure that each subtopic in the guide is formatted with the same heading style.

Then, place your cursor at the top of the document.

Create a table of contents with clickable links. A link can help you navigate the document quickly.

Click the links in the table of contents to test them.

The links jump to the correct section of the document. If you make any changes to your document, or if you add or delete a heading, refresh the table of contents so that it shows the most current information.

Notify the students on your team that you added the table and have them test out the links. You now have a helpful table of contents for your study guide.

Now, it’s your turn: Make sure each subtopic is formatted in the same heading style, Create a table of contents, and test out the links.

Repeat this process to create 10 slides from your study guide -- five questions and five answers.

In this extension, you will use a digital form to create a quiz about your study guide.Taking a quiz about a subject helps you recall and remember facts and commit them to memory.

Creating a quiz helps you process and understand the information.

You will create your quiz in Google Forms.

A digital form allows you to create and share a practice quiz with questions and answers about a topic you have studied.

You can create a quiz with different types of questions, including: short answer, paragraph, multiple choice, checkboxes, and dropdown. In this extension, you will make a multiple choice quiz.

To begin, open a new browser tab and navigate to "forms.google.com" Select the “blank quiz” template. Templates help you create your form faster, because part of it is already made for you.

Rename the form to the topic of your study guide.

And add a description.

Add a question about important information you need help remembering.

Write the correct answer to the question.

Add any other important information that will help your group understand the topic.

Then, write two or three incorrect answers.

Make the wrong answers close to the correct one, or add common mistakes people might make. If the answers are obviously wrong, your quiz will be too easy, and will not be as useful as a study aid.

After adding your questions, a correct answer, and two or three wrong answers, create an answer key to assign a point value to the question.

Then, select the correct answer.

Create 10 questions.

When your quiz is complete, send it to the other students in your group.

Then, take the other quizzes that your group members created to help you prepare for a test or exam. You can also share quizzes with other students in the class for extra practice.

Quizzes are a great way to study for an exam, but forms have many other uses.

You could survey members of a club to find the best time to meet, invite friends and family to a party, or create a registration form.

Explore the templates and find other helpful ways to gather information.

Now, it’s your turn: Create a new quiz, Write ten questions about your topic, Provide three or four answers to each question, And send the quiz to the members of your group.
