This was created as I was getting a lot of irrelevant questions during my lessons which were taking up valuable teaching time. I overcame this by using these. Pupils are given 2 question tokens at the start of each lesson and the backs feature possible ways to get an answer without asking the teacher:
Can I answer this myself?
Is it urgent?
Can someone else help?
These are not designed to stop pupils asking questions but rather to think for themselves. The majority of the time pupils know the answer but don't think about it properly.
and develop their own cognitive abilities.
All you need to do is print these back to back, they have been tested several times to ensure they line up correctly providing you know which direction your printer prints! Laminate to make them last forever!
Give it a try! You may save hours!
This is a great activity for pupils to show their understanding of the 6R's specifically within design subjects. This could also be used for other school wide subjects and PSE and even as a plenary.
