Three heads

Three heads shows three people explaining the same thing, one right and two with common misconceptions. Pupils decide who is right and what the others got wrong.

The real slide Chalk makes, in the Classroom look. Every word is written for your lesson when you use it.

How to run it

  1. Pupils choose a person, alone.
  2. They explain what the other two got wrong.
  3. Agree as a class, with the reason.

Why it works

Putting rival ideas side by side makes pupils argue from understanding, and brings the misconceptions into the open.
