When Arch Rivals Meet - Magnus Carlsen vs. Hikaru Nakamura

I created this video quiz by means of the Autoquiz function of the quiz creator ("Create a quiz in 1 click"), which uses the human-created subtitles of the video to generate a quiz in the topic of your choice. I chose the topic of 'Passive in simple tenses (present, past, future)' and manually added some active voice questions alongside the machine-generated passive ones using the subtitle box in the editor. I've also inserted the infinitives in brackets by hand.

The objective of the lesson is to train students in the use of passive in simple tenses in the present and past, with some questions involving the passive infinitive ("to be done") and modal passive structures ("could be done"). 

I've delayed popping up each of the fifteen questions with a few seconds to let students' auditory memory fade and make them rely on their knowledge of grammar, rather than their ears.

I made a related video quiz containing eight open-ended, deep listening comprehension questions. that you can assign to your students as follow-up or homework:

Simon's Cat - Fly Guy - Quiz 3 - Tense Review

This video quiz was created using the Autoquiz function of the quiz creator, which uses the subtitles of the video to generate a quiz in the topic of your choice. I chose the topic of "Passive in simple tenses", and added some active voice questions alongside the machine-generated ones. I've also manually included the infinitives in brackets.

The objective of the lesson is to train students in the use of passive in simple tenses (present, past, future). To make the task challenging, I've included active sentences, too so that the task does not become a simple grammar drill. I've also delayed popping up the questions a bit, so that the audio wanes a bit and there's a better chance that they will need to rely on their knowledge of grammar and not simply write down what they have just heard.
