Add a text box to your formative

You can also add text boxes between other items on your formative. Simply click on the + icon in between questions or media items you've already created and select from the menu that appears.
Tip: You can add multiple questions to the text block, so your questions are grouped together
You also have the option to generate Text Passages using AI. Click on this linked article to learn more!
The Student Experience
Your students can use a Highlighter to annotate or mark text within a Text item you provide them with. They simply select the text section with their mouse or touchpad, then click on the highlighter color of their choice from the 4 options offered. The text they selected will immediately be highlighted.
Pro Tip!
If you add a Drawing question to your text box, or a Show Your Work box (Paid Teacher / School & District feature) to any of the questions you add to your formative - your students will be able to add a screenshot of their annotated text for your review.
