You each will be given at least one slip of
paper. On it is a question relating to something
you will be studying this year as part of your AS
Politics course. Stand up and ask a member of the
class the question. If they dont know the
answer, tell them and let them ask you their
question in turn. When you have both learned the
answers to each others questions exchange slips
of paper and ask a different member of the class.
Try to speak to as many different people as
possible and that way you will learn as many new
facts as you can!
