True, False or Unsure?
• Take turns to select a card and decide whether it is a true or false statement.
• Convince your partner of your decision.
• It is important that you both understand the reasons for the decision. If you don’t agree with your partner, explain why. You are both responsible for each other’s learning.
• If you are both happy with the decision, glue the card onto the
paper. Next to the card, write reasons to support your decision.
• Put to one side any cards you are unsure about.
