questions they would like to ask about Hampton School. Then each pair  reads
aloud their questions to the class and the teacher puts  them  down  on  the
board. If other pairs have the same question  in  their  lists  they  should
cross it out. Then the students choose the  most  interesting  question  and
the teacher ticks it on the board.
