FRAMING
• Framing the conversation by telling the person what you are going to do for them is the perfect way to achieve this.
• Explain to the person that you are going to ask them some questions, tell them why you are going to ask them and also let them know ‘what’s in it for them’ to answer the questions, thereby fully justifying all questions in advance! For example:
• “Okay Mr/Mrs , I’m going to firstly test your understanding of different types of questions then based upon your knowledge will look expand this knowledge into new areas and show you how you can use these in an every day situation”
