Resources

Questions printed on paper or displayed on Smart Board/written on a whiteboard/half whiteboard half desk.

How It Works 
Thunks are designed to be controversial/thought provoking questions which could link to your subject. They are a great way to spark conversations that link to learning INSTANTLY.
Examples:
(PE) Female footballers should wear skimpier clothing on the pitch if they want to attract more publicity 
Or
(Citizenship) Dads should work and only Mothers should stay at home. 

General Questions
· What colour is Monday?
· Can a toddler commit a crime?

· If you could take a pill that would mean you would never fail…would you?
