Recent attendees of our Wow Politics events in London were shown a copy of our 'Red Herring' Powerpoint game. One delegate, Jon Neil from RGS in Newcastle, created his own version on Ideologies and has allowed us to share this.The activity takes a different twist on the classical multi-choice quiz format. Four answers are shown on screen but there is no question attached. Instead, students must work out which 3 out of the 4 answers are linked and which remaining answer is unconnected (the Red Herring). Think of the 'picture round' in Have I Got News For You....This version contains 5 questions and is non-editable. The editable version of this resource is part of the resource pack given to Wow Politics delegates or is a purchasable resource as part of the Wow Politics 2 pack.Click here to download the 'Idealogies' version of Red Herring.
