  6. The Question Game: • To start, two participants decide on a topic to question. One person starts with an open-ended question, then the other person responds with a related open-ended question. This goes back and forth as long as they can continue without making a statement or repeating a previous question • Variation: Try asking a question and going around the room, each person asking a question based on the one before

  7. Effective and Relevant: Effective: Relevant: • Return the required information • Contain the relevant contextual vocabulary • Apply to sources that contain the required information. However it can be difficult to tell if the question is effective when you first create it! • Question relevance assists the creation of a 'good question' • Has far more chance of being effective in locating the information needed
