Author: Aleix Barrera, Diego Castro & David Rodriguez-Gomez

The aim is to identify problems, causes and solutions of the challenge.
30-60 mins
Groups of 5-30
Whiteboard, pen, paper & post-its
Steps
- The teacher writes 3 question headings on the whiteboard for each group to answer on post-its:
- What are the 3 main problems of the challenge?
- What are the 3 main causes of the challenge?
- What are the 3 main solutions to the challenge?
- Students place post-its under the headings on the whiteboard.
- The groups review all the post-its whilst thinking about the 3 questions above.
- The groups then thought-shower and select the best solution for the problem.
Reflection
Although this activity allows students to select the most suitable solution, they should be open-minded about other possible solutions from the ideate stage.
