These are similar to sort cards but they are designed to facilitate discussion, critical thinking and for learners to assess their knowledge or beliefs. Create a set of cards with statements relating to the topic under discussion e.g. All sentences must have a subject, a verb and a sense of time.
Ask learners to sort cards into three piles: agree, disagree, not sure.
Alternatively - each learner takes a card, thinks about their answer and then explains which pile it belongs on (the cards could be blu-tacked to the board under the different headings).
If another learner disagrees with the decision they must wait their turn and then justify their own response. If necessary, the decision can go to a class vote or the card can be added to the 'not sure' pile at the original learner's request. The 'not sure' pile is the one that learners need to look at more closely and do further work on.
