Step by step

Cut out the cards and ask the learners to place them on a Agree/Unsure/Disagree Continuum.
Alternatively, read out the statement and ask the learners to place themselves along a continuum – this could be the length of the classroom, or outside.
As an extension exercise, learners could look up evidence to support their answers, particularly for the ‘unsure’ cards. The quality and reliability of sources could also be discussed.
