In your breakout room, create at least 3 CCQs, one of each type, to check
understanding of the following instructions:
“Find a picture in your cellphone of someone in your family, then find a partner. Show your partner the
picture, but do NOT tell your partner who is in the picture. Take turns asking each other questions to try
and discover who is in the picture. After both students have discovered who is in their partners’
pictures, change partners and play again.”
