    Activity:
    In small groups, choose a 'name game' (idea links below).
    Lead the class in the game to help us learn names.
    One idea is the 'Time bomb' game: 

    All form a circle and each say their name.
    One says another’s name then throws ball to them.
    They have 2 seconds to say another's name & throw to them.
    Continue until all names are named.

    Creating Questions
    MHJC leavers say "we need to know how to ask questions in order to get the right help and to guide research".
    The 'Question Quadrant' helps to create different types of question.

    Look at the picture of Pooh & Piglet. Generate questions and write them on post-it notes.
     

    Comprehension questions have their answer in the story, photo, video
    Research questions have their answer in wider research eg on the internet
    Speculation questions can be answered using our imagination about what might be (related to the text, photo, video)
    Inquiry (philosophical) questions can be answered through ethics, logic, metaphysics, epistemology, aesthetics. 
       Ethics - should people be allowed to buy and sell anything? 
       Logic - If people act in their own interest, will they ever donate to charity? 
       Metaphysics - how do people know what something is worth? 
       Epistomology - how do you know something?
