In groups, students take turns answering a question or challenge. The answers are written down to create a long list.
This method ensures every student’s voice is heard and the list can be used in their further investigation work.
1
Choose one person in the group to write down the answers.
2
Ask a question or pose a challenge that invites many brief responses.
3
Give students thinking time and designate who will start answering the question or challenge.
4
The answer is written down before the next student gives their response.
5
Continue until every student has had a turn and a long list of answers is created.
Didactic tips
- Optionally, have the writing role rotate in the same way students take turns answering.
- Explain what the list will be used for afterward, to make expectations about the writing clear.
- This method is used in activity XXX
