These task cards help students practice restating questions in complete sentences, a valuable skill for test-taking and writing. The set includes one-part and two-part questions with context for added challenge. The resource is available in both print and digital formats.
$3.29
The ability to restate a question, in order to answer in a complete sentence is important not only in test-taking situations, but also for many types of writing. These 32 task cards (print or digital) can help your students learn this challenging skill. There are two types of questions in this set. Cards 1-20 feature one-part questions. Odd cards ask about the student’s life while even cards ask about text/media and the outside world. Each question includes some context to add to the challenge. Cards 21-32 are two-part questions. Students will restate the first question, add the word, “because” and then answer the second question in the same sentence.
The questions themselves are all easy to answer since it is not the content, but the putting the question in the answer (PQA) format that is being practiced. You may even want to make the activity more fun by encouraging your students to give silly answers.

This was a great resource for my sixth grade students to use when they were struggling with how to restate. We practice writing CERs for state testing throughout the year. I noticed this year that my group just couldn’t grasp how to restate. This resource was easy to print and use. After using these for weeks of practice with my students I can honestly say they were able to restate by the end of the year!

It is sooooo hard to come up with questions to practice restating the question. It is a task that I have to review several times throughout the year with my 8th grade students because they forget how to do it or they become too informal in their responses. For my 6th graders, this was a wonderful tool to practice restating the questions with a partner and individually.

Fun task cards for students to use on their own or with a partner!

This was a great resource to review for our state testing and to help with writing RACE Responses. It saved me a lot of time!

Super helpful. It seems basic common sense for 6th grade but many students struggle with the idea of restating the question in english when they are writing or trying to use the RAP method to answer questions. This is a great starter to make sure everyone is on the same page.

My students used this as a gallery walk type activity. Students felt more confident in restating the prompt once completing this activity.

The resource was great for my students and was great to see students engaged. It added more practice, and understanding, and was a great addition to our classroom learning.

This game was easy to set up, engaging, and high interest. It works well because I could work with another group for a longer period of time knowing the group playing this game will be engaged.
Weird English Teacher –
Excellent tool for helping students break down how to restate. This is something my students consistently need help with.

My students were struggling with restating the question so this ended up being an awesome tool to really remind them how we restate questions. They found the questions that were asked interesting and engaging too.
