Preparation
Select a quiz from ESL Blues or another grammar quiz website which is suitable for your grammar teaching point. Here is an example of a quiz on stative verbs.
Procedures
1. From an internet-enabled computer connected to a projector, pull up the quiz so that it is projected for the whole class.
2. Ask the class to nominate one student as the typist who will come to the front to field answers and type them into the quiz.
3. As a whole, the class completes the quiz with students suggesting answers.
Notes
If lack of student participation is an issue, try dividing the class into two teams to add an element of competition. The typist then takes on the role of MC, giving each team a chance to correctly complete a quiz item before the floor is passed to the next team.
