This is an activity I made for my year 12 students. The students read the questions in the box and answer them. The teacher can either get the students to ask other students or can get the students to answer them themselves as a starter task for example. The questions are based on class differences in education (both internal and external factors). The answers are also in the notes section to save teachers time. Hope it helps - tweak to your liking!
