1. Divide
class into groupings based on mixed abilities and select a facilitator
and/or a recorder for each group. Provide each group with a large sheet
of paper and marker pen.
2. A
time limit is set(10 ins max)
3. Students
are invited to give their ideas. This can be done in
a
structured manner where each person is asked to contribute and nominates
to PASS if they cannot think of an idea when it is their turn, or
alternately participants can freely call out their ideas.
4. ALL
ideas are recorded and displayed exactly as they have been stated
5. No
judgments (neither positive or negative) are allowed by either the
facilitator or other participants
6. After
the brainstorm, go over the list to make sure that all group understand
the ideas. Remember this is only a clarification time not an opportunity
for comment
7. Get
class back together and combine, collate all groups work into readable
sentences or statements on displayable sheet(s), eliminating any
duplication. These statements should also be the work of the class not
the teacher. There will be a range of discussions at this stage.
8. Ask
students to select one or more of the statements on the display as the
focus of their learning and research. Either as a prove/disprove
statement or as a challenge to establish the fact(s).
