Just a quick little activity to help get KS4 students thinking. All you have to do to use it is ask the students to read the information card then working in pairs, roll a dice to which question they ask each other based on the the text they have read. You can use questioning after to assess students progress. Give it a go, I still cant believe how well it has worked for me Follow me @teacherchalky1
