OBJECTIVE
Quickly and efficiently check answers to questions or tasks where there is only one correct answer. Saves time when reviewing. Suitable for short jobs.
DURATION
Part of a lesson.
METHODOLOGY
- Step 1: students carry out the task individually.
- Step 2: students work in pairs to compare their own answers with those of the other student. In case of different answers, look for the correct answer.
- Step 3 (optional): if appropriate, compare the answers again with a different pair.
- Step 4: classroom testing. Either the teacher provides a template of correct answers for students to correct themselves. Or the teacher clarifies only those questions on which the pairs could not agree.
EXAMPLES OF USE
- In the Figma application, after explaining the tools available, students are provided with images of designs and have to identify which Figma tool has been used to construct them.
- In languages, students complete a grammar exercise and correct it in pairs.
