What is more important – having the right answer or having the right question?
We think that one of the most important skills that YOU need to develop is the ability to ask AMAZING questions. Starting with INspired and thoughtful questions usually creates more creative, innovative and unique answers.
We were lucky to be able to hear about a few of the fantastic questions that some young people asked yesterday in relation to the Set 1 challenges. Maybe they will challenge your thinking…
Try out the “QUESTIONS ONLY” critical thinking tool. It might change how you think about the task, or what you have done so far.
LEAVE A COMMENT if you think you have an interesting question about one of the challenges!
Some interesting questions from some pupils at Broxburn Primary School about the ‘wordless text’ task:

How long would it have to be?
Who would we send it to?
How would we send it?
Would we want a reply back?
Who would your target be?
Could it be a mixture of pictures and emojis? (or other different things)
What emojis can I use?
Could I use drawings?
Could I use codes (like morse code)
Could I use sign language?
How can I learn sign language?
Does everyone need to be able to understand it, or just my target audience?
Could you make up your own code and make ‘words’?
Should I use a mixture of communications?
Can I tell the same story different ways?
Can I tell an old story in a new way?
