- Each student writes an IB short answer question (they can use their own notes or revision notes) about cognitive development.

- Students play a card game to respond to questions. (groups of 4)

1. Student 1 holds question cards in a fan and says, “Pick a card, any card!”

2. Student 2 picks a card, reads the question out loud and allows one minute (counted) of think time.

3. Student 3 answers the question.

4. Student 4 restates the answer. a. For right or wrong answers, Student 4 checks and then either praises or coaches.

b. For higher-level thinking questions which have no right or wrong answer, Student 4 does not check for correctness, but praises and paraphrases the thinking that went into the answer.

5. Students rotate roles one clockwise for each new round. || Groups || ||
