How do we do it?

“The bit I liked is that you didn’t just have to be just you: it was

everyone and it made you think of what other people think of

answers; because my line of thought about someone who

answered a question differently to how I answered was that it

might be wrong; but when someone explains it to you and when

we talk it through it gets far more meaning and you understand it

better and I understand the different ways you can answer

questions far more.”

“There were lots of examples of ways to get it wrong

as well You can see how a lot of people waffle in their

answers. We can tell what is waffly and what is

straight to the point. I think that was the best”

What did I think?

How will we develop it?
