I started the first day of the school year assessing my student's ability to think critically. It was a full day activity that I found hugely successful and the students had fun!
I had the desks arranged in groups of four before the students entered the class. As the students filtered in I told them to think carefully about where they sat because there was an exciting challenge ahead. They needed to sit with people they thought they could work well with and who they thought were good problem solvers and finders.
Through this activity I was able to see who was creative, who had leadership qualities, who thought outside the box, what their work ethic, their questioning skills and was like and who was confident in sharing their ideas.
