Questioning

Think outside the box...

If the answer 24, what could the question be..?

Sports or eco-friendly?



Which one of these two cars would you rather have?  Try to think of all the reasons someone would choose each one and then work out which you would prefer.  Even if you'd like a particular one, do you think that there's one you should choose?

It's tempting, isn't it, to go for the fast flashy car?  Do you think car manufacturers should be allowed to make cars that tempt us to go fast?

Graffiti tree?



Lots of people have visited this tree and carved their names in it, sometimes their own name and the name of their girlfriend or boyfriend.  Sometimes, people come back to the same tree years later to see their initials again.  What do you think about it?  Do you think this is a good idea or not?  Would you call this graffiti?  Do you think it matters that it's a tree rather than a wall?
