What is it?
A simple tool to record and answer questions about a new unit of work, topic or lesson.
How does it work?
1. Fold the template into a small box with flaps that will contain the questions and answers.
2. Children can work individually, in pairs or small groups to write questions and issues that they want or need answered during the topic, lesson or unit. Each Chatterbox can contain eight questions.
3. As children work through their topic, lesson or unit, they write the answers to their questions and issues on the Chatterbox.
4. Children use their Chatterboxes to test each other or small groups on the answers to their questions.
How to make up your Chatterbox
Write the questions and issues onto the eight question sections (numbered).
As you find answers to the questions write them onto the Chatterbox in the corresponding coloured sections.
