This is a activity where students create a few (test) questions and have them answered by one or more other students. It helps students to think carefully about the subject matter and gain insight into any upcoming tests.
• Have students work individually, in pairs, or in groups of 3-4 students. • Ask the students to create a number (5-10) of questions about the subject matter. Preferably, these are open-ended questions, provided it fits the objective. • Then rotate the questions among the students and have them answer each other's questions. • Have the original student(s) then review the answers. • Discuss the questions as a class: what was difficult or easy? What were good questions?
You use this working form once a considerable amount of subject matter has been covered.
• Pen and paper • Prior knowledge about the subject
