Teacher Use

Remind students to enter both the assignment code and period number before starting.
Use Icons ON for support and Icons OFF later to strengthen vocabulary recall and independent reading skills.

Teacher Note: This activity is part of the Rudolph Academy coded assignment system. No student accounts are needed. Teachers create an account, generate an assignment code, and share both the activity link and code with students. Students must enter the correct assignment code and their period number when starting the activity so their work is tracked and appears in the correct teacher dashboard reports. If no code is entered, students can still complete the activity, but their results will not be recorded in the system. Use the time, rounds, accuracy, and points shown in the report to set expectations for completion. This activity works well for classroom practice, homework, warm-up, review, or class competition.
