| + | ===== Uses ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | To check knowledge and get people moving around, active and alert. Good at the start of a session or to wake people up further in. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Materials required ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | Pre-prepared signs – as large as possible. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== How to use it ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | 1) Post signs around the room. They can be as few as two (so TRUE or FALSE can be used) or as many as you like that will fit in the room. These signs can indicate a range of preferences such as: | ||
| + | • Topics of interest | ||
| + | • Questions about content | ||
| + | • Possible solutions to a problem | ||
| + | • Personal values | ||
| + | • Quotations relevant to the subject | ||
| + | |||
| + | 2) Ask participants to go to the sign that most accurately reflects their preference. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3) Each group of people at a sign forms a group – ask them to spend 5 minutes amongst themselves discussing why they chose that one and feedback to the whole class. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Notes ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Try to make sure you get a fair mix between the preferences or the discussion bit of this won’t work. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Variations ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | A really simple version of this can be used to check knowledge without discussion. For example, “How confident are you at finding journal articles?” – Very, a little bit or not at all. This can then be asked again later in the session to check knowledge. | ||
