Teach it
Teach it has one pupil teach a partner the idea, covering a short list of points, while the partner listens and asks one question, and then they swap.

How to run it
- Give a minute to plan what to say.
- One teaches while the other listens and asks a question.
- Swap, then share one good question with the class.
Why it works
Preparing to explain an idea to someone else, and answering their question, makes pupils organise what they know and notice what they do not.
