Google Expands Gemini Notebook With Free Textbook Sources
How to use these two pages
Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.
Student worksheetA simple 15–20-minute lesson
- Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
- Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
- Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.
Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.
Answers to the 2 questions
The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.
What can users make after adding a textbook as a source?
Correct answer: C — Revision materials such as quizzes
Why: The article says users can generate revision material, including quizzes and flashcards.
Clue in the story: Once a book is added as a source, users can ask questions about its contents or generate revision material, including quizzes and flashcards. Google says responses include citations that link back to the textbook; readers can use those links to check the source.
What does Android Authority report about access outside the United States and India?
Correct answer: B — No expansion timetable has been announced
Why: The report says Google has not announced when it might expand to other regions.
Clue in the story: Android Authority reports that the feature is rolling out to users in the United States and India. The publication says Google has not announced when it might expand to other regions.
The open question: accept different answers
Ask learners: How can a learner check an answer, and what is known about the feature’s rollout?
One possible answer: Google says answers link back to the textbook through citations. Android Authority reports a rollout to users in the United States and India and no announced timetable for other regions.
This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
