When they have finished, ask them to sit<br />
down <strong>and</strong> then ask for some immediate<br />
reaction to the exercise. It will be visually<br />
very clear as to which statements got general<br />
agreement, which disagreement, <strong>and</strong> more<br />
interestingly, which statements they were<br />
unsure about or disagreed on.<br />
Then ask each pair to join another pair.<br />
Ask each group <strong>of</strong> four to take two <strong>of</strong> the<br />
statements, making sure each group has<br />
chosen at least one statement about which the<br />
class were unsure or disagreed.<br />
Ask them to think about whether:<br />
1. This statement is ALWAYS TRUE<br />
2.This statement is ALWAYS FALSE<br />
3. This statement is sometimes true <strong>and</strong><br />
sometimes false<br />
They should think <strong>of</strong> examples to illustrate<br />
their answers <strong>and</strong> in the case <strong>of</strong> the 3rd<br />
option, give examples for when it is true<br />
<strong>and</strong> when false. They should record their<br />
conclusions <strong>and</strong> then each group can feed<br />
back two key points from their discussion to<br />
the whole class.<br />

Ask them to divide the cards into three sets, according to whether they:<br />
