Soooo I asked for some feedback from my students on what they thought about this excercise. I liked that they didn't hold back. I trey to reasure them that I wanted honest ansers and that this would only help in the future and I would nothing against them. I had them write it down as well as say it verbally. When it was said I really was engouraging and supportive.
What the students said about this task was :
Pros
repitition was good
liked working together
working with those they didn't know
liked standing and moving around
doing something different
Cons
loud
lack of variety
more time
mix it up
dumb questions
nervous
working with people they didn't know
Very good insight from those who are participating. I plan to use other questioning methods and compare and contrast.

I agree that students often tell us more than we want to know= but usually they are more insightful then we give them credit for. I like how they have some of the same for both pro and con- seems about right for high schoolers. So what do you think about the questioning you have done so far- which strategy seems to work the best for your comfort zone?
