This plenary works really well as there is a
competitive element to it, as the students must try and beat the teacher!
Ask your students to come up with questions (high
order if possible) based around their learning in that lesson and see if the
you (the teacher) can answer them. The student must be satisfied with the
response and can probe for further details if necessary. Teachers can
deliberately respond with short, underdeveloped answers so as to encourage
students to think about what information should be included, if the answer were
to be expanded.
This activity can be developed further by:
- Getting students
to write questions on pieces of paper and place them in a box, as
appropriate throughout the lesson (not just at the end). One student (who
is sensible can vet them) .
- Either one
student or each student can take it in turn to sit opposite the teacher at
the front of the class and ask questions in a Mastermind fashion.
- When the
students are more confident, they can take part as the contestant.
- Students could
also do this in small groups or pairs, taking it in turns to answer and
ask the questions.
