Identify good questions for inquiry

The best questions from each group were compiled onto a poster sheet and put up onto the KB wall for others to see and consider. Students were asked to come up with criteria for good questions, and based on these criteria new questions were produced.

Students shared their views on "Hong Kong Kids" on a poster sheet and build on each others’ views

F2F and online discussion

Identify good discussion

Students carried out further discussion with their groups on the KF. Tim allowed only intra-group discussion at this stage as he wished for students to decide for themselves which group’s discussion was best. Once students understood what good discussion was, they proceeded to inter-group discussion. That way, students would be aware of how to deepen discussion and improve its overall quality.
