  5. Different types of questions

  6. 5 min Working in small groups....... • Consider the questions on the handout and categorise them into open, closed, leading or probing • In what circumstances (if any!) would you use these questioning styles? • What sort of response might you get if you asked the questions as they stand? • Does your tone of voice make any difference? • Which questions would you re-phrase? Why? BE PREPARED TO GIVE FEEDBACK TO THE GROUP ON YOUR DISCUSSIONS

  7. 10 min Working in small groups....... • Work through the headteacher’s report and identify THREE questions you would want to ask. • Write your questions individually on a post-it and stick them on the board REMEMBER consider how you phrase the questions (open, closed, probing) – this will be important later.

  8. 10 min Working in small groups....... • Take – at random -THREE questions from the board • In your groups decide who will be the questioner, who will be the respondent and who will observe • Ask the questions, noting: • How it felt to ask the question • How it felt to be asked the question • How did the conversation appear to an “outsider” BE PREPARED TO GIVE FEEDBACK TO THE GROUP ON YOUR EXPERIENCE
