One Minute Paper

One Minute Paper

The aim is to evaluate the students’ solutions for the challenge.

1. Students should write a one minute paper evaluating the project group’s solution to the challenge.  Possible prompts for the activity could be: 

• Did the solution meet the needs of the client?
• What parts of the solution do you think could have been improved?

2. The students write down at least 4 evaluative points about the solution.
3. The teacher creates 2 columns on the board – ‘Strengths’ and ‘Weaknesses’.  The students reflect on their points and write them under the appropriate headings.
4. The project group then discusses all the points on the whiteboard, reflects on them and suggests ways that future projects could be improved.

The evaluation could centre on the solution that was created by the group or on resources and materials used by the group for the solution. The activity shows the importance of the reflective process in learning.
The activity could be done using online tools such as Padlet, Trello, virtual whiteboard and breakout rooms in Teams/Zoom.
