Stump Your Partner involves students generating challenging questions related to the course content, testing their peers in pairs and writing the questions and answers down for future self-assessment.
Instructions
- Instruct students to create a challenging question based on the class content.
- Have students pair up and take turns asking and answering each other’s questions.
- Have students debrief after the activity. Facilitate the discussion of key takeaways and reinforce the important concepts of the class content.
Tip
To ensure that this activity aids understanding more than just remembering, guide students to ask open-ended questions that require the answerer to do more than recite a fact.
