Generate inquiry questions

In order to find out what students already knew about the module topic, the class was asked to make posters in groups using facts from existing knowledge. A video relevant to the topic was shown, and a small group discussion took place. Students were also given both an article to read and a set challenge question to respond to. They were required to highlight questions worthy of further discussion and any aspects of the module they found difficult to understand.
