  7. Embedding Challenging Questioning Activity 2 I couldn’t disagree more……. This simple exercise helps to build the skill of thinking on your feet and quick response. The teacher (or pupil) makes a statement and invites another pupil to respond starting with “I couldn’t disagree more because…” and developing their reason. This strategy can be used to encourage students to challenge each others opinions and also to encourage clear and confident justification of ideas. It requires students to analyse, synthesise and evaluate ideas. Choose one of the following to discuss in your group. Each person must start their sentence with the phrase: ‘I couldn’t disagree more’…… • Fox hunting should be banned • War is always wrong • Women should stay at home and look after the children • Footballers earn too much money • Compulsory PE should be banned in schools • English is the best subject at school • Students should be allowed to choose all of their GCSE subjects
