How it works
Weekly Wonder · Year 7 to 9 · No. 1
“Is a lie ever kind?”
This is one of five questions in the Year 7 to 9 set. Year 10 and 11 and sixth form have five of their own.
Pick any of the five slides and put it up. You don’t need to introduce it.
Ask the form to stay silent for the first minute, so everyone has time to think.
There is no correct answer, so every answer is worth hearing. You don’t need to reach a conclusion before the bell.

There is nothing to prepare. Pick the slides for your form, and each set has five questions. Once a week works best, so each question feels like a bit of an event. Want to know when the next set goes up? Sign up here.
