Politics Quiz of the Week
19th September 2016
A huge hat tip to Clive Owen from Minster School in Southwell for sending through his Politics News Quiz. A simple idea but executed well - a screenshot of the BBC News Politics page, followed by questions that test students' observation and awareness skills. A brilliant way to start the week! Thank you Clive.
