7. Quick Questions 10 students will need to stand at the front of the room facing the board. These 10 students will have a paper placed on their backs with a name of a famous location. Other students are NOT to tell what is on the paper!!!! You will need a notebook for note taking. Those with papers on their backs will ask Yes or NO questions ONLY. You can only ask 3 questions per student, then move onto another classmate. Each time you ask a question, place a tally mark on your paper. You must also take notes about questions that need a follow up question, what questions provide them with clues, etc. (What are good questions/What are bad questions) The goal is determine the location with as few questions as possible.

Again, you will need to tally the number of questions and take notes on the types of questions that get you the most information.
