1. Set the stage with a strategic review.

Kick off with a class discussion about traits of lead distractors. Help students understand how wrong answers are designed to trick them—and the thinking skills needed to spot them. The following tips might be a helpful place to start:

1. It’s almost right but adds something extra that's false
2. It’s partly true, but not the full or main idea
3. It uses strong or extreme words
4. It misreads or twists a word or phrase

2. Assign questions in Albert for group work.

Create an assignment in Albert and have students work in small groups (2–3 students per device) to complete the same set of questions. As they work, require them to agree on their answer before submitting—and document their reasoning for both the correct choice and the distractors, especially the one they think is the lead distractor.

3. Reveal answers and reflect.

Once all groups have submitted, review the questions together. Ask students to share which distractors tempted them and why. Highlight patterns in test-taking habits or commonly missed lead distractors.

For reinforcement, assign a timed version of the same assignment in Albert individually to help students apply their learning under pressure.
