This document provides guidance on preparing for a UN quiz by writing different levels of questions. It explains the four levels of questions: knowledge, comprehension, analysis, and synthesis. Knowledge questions have short, factual answers while comprehension questions require a couple sentences of explanation. Analysis and synthesis questions have no correct answers and require opinions supported by evidence or logical thought. The document provides examples of questions for each level and instructs the reader to write their own questions and answers on a separate sheet.
