 Pairs of students were randomly allocated an essay question from a past paper and had to prepare a detailed plan which they could then present to the rest of the class. In order to be successful, students had to use a range of well-developed communication skills because only were they working with a partner, but they also had to deliver their essay plans to the rest of the group.
