ELT365 · Day 165 — Writing a Detail Question

Idea — A good detail question targets specific, locatable information. The wrong answers must be plausible, not absurd.

Example — ‘How many students passed the test?’ is specific. ‘What did the teacher do?’ is too vague for a detail task.

Try — Write three detail questions at different difficulty levels for the same text: one easy, one moderate, one that requires inference.
