Responding to and using questions when revising… Verbal questioning and revision The teacher gives out 3 questions (which are written on the board) in relation to the same topic. Demonstrating 3 levels of challenge Each question is directed to a group of students, the students then have 1 minute to come up with an answer to the questions. The answers to the questions are then discussed with the teacher asking linking questions between the 3 levels of challenge. TOP TIP! When doing past papers only attempt to complete 2/3 questions at a time. Write your answer in one colour. Then use your book/revision guide to help develop your answers in a different colour pen Finally mark it using a different colour pen.  This way you can see how many marks you would have got without any help as well as how you can develop your answer further. Read the question once Read the question again and underline key words and command words Read the question again and make notes in relation to how many points are on offer. Read again and plan your answer.
