3. Gather relevant notes and materials.
4. Move into groups.
5. Write a simplified, Level 1, version of your POC on a scrap of paper.
6. Put paper scraps in the middle of the table.
7. Person 1 draws a paper scrap and rolls the dice.
8. Everyone writes as many questions related to that POC as they can for 2 minutes. Levels correspond to the number rolled: 

1. 1-2 on the dice = Level 1 questions
2. 3-4 on the dice = Level 2 questions
3. 5-6 on the dice = Level 3 questions
9. Repeat 3-4 times.
2. During Tutorials:
1. Move into Tutorial groups (4-5 people).
2. Share your final concept rating (from your POC box) and determine your presentation orders.
3. The presenter will give a 30 second speech ending with their POC.
4. Group members will note questions asked and the presenter's work. One group member will take notes for the presenter.
5. When the presenter thinks they understand the POC, they'll summarize their steps. Group members will ask any follow up questions.
6. Repeat as time permits.
3. After Tutorials: 

1. Reflection questions: Did the dice and question writing game help you come up with questions to ask the presenter? If you presented, do you feel like the questions you asked today were any different than usual? If so, how?
