Branching feature in Microsoft Forms
In addition to check-in assessments like exit tickets, you can create practice assessments for your students throughout the unit. In these formative assessments, students are able to practice or review a skill that they have been studying.
With the branching feature in Microsoft Forms, you can create a quiz that allows students to practice as little or as much as they need. Here, for example, in the first question, students are asked to identify the rhyme scheme of the poem provided. If a student answers incorrectly, an embedded video appears and re-teaches the student how to scan a poem for rhyme scheme and then encourages the student to try question 1 again.

Reflection
- Would flipping curriculum through a Microsoft Form provide differentiation in the pace of learning?
- Which students might benefit from the branching options?
Now it is your turn
Think of an upcoming lesson that you think might lend itself to branching or flipping. Create a quiz by thinking about how each type of student might answer each question. What would you normally do in class if they got a concept or question wrong? What scaffolding, or support, can you offer the student that got a question wrong?
