How to use it
1. At the beginning of a topic/lesson
• Present students with a stimulus-photo/picture/object/text.
• Encourage students to ask questions- ignite curiosity.
• Collect questions and decide on what the ‘big question’ could be.
2. Learning outcomes
Display these and challenge students to generate questions for the lesson.
What would they like to ask?
What do they need to find out?
3. Exam Practice
Present students with a model answer.
What would the question be for this answer?
Can they make the link between exam rubric and answer?
4. Peer assessment
After reading someone else’s work students generate a question to create further challenge.
This can lead to further discussion or could be written feedback leading to written improvements.
5. Feedback
• Use these questions to enrich feedback to students and create more challenge.
• Turn this into an exam question:
Can you explain how somebody who believes in absolute morality might respond to the commandment ‘do not kill’? (4)
6. Challenge the teacher
• Invite difficult questions
• Question box
• Post-it notes/ mini-whiteboards- common questions could inform the direction of the lesson.
