Pass it On
Author: Anni Stavnskaer Pedersen
Facilitated by the teacher
The aim is for the students to undertake idea generation by building upon others’ ideas.
10-20 mins
Groups 2-40
Whiteboard, pen & notebooks
Steps
- All group members write down their ideas for the solution to the challenge on their individual notebooks.
- The teacher asks them to pass their notebook to their neighbour sitting on their right.
- The students add to their neighbour’s notebook to develop the ideas that are listed.
- The notebook should then be passed to the neighbour on the right.
- The notebook should be passed to all group members until the notebooks are returned to their original owners.
- The teacher asks each student to read out their original idea and the additions which the other students have added.
- When all the students have done this all of the ideas are pooled and retained for future use for selecting ideas.
Reflection
The groups should have 3-5 members each but you can include as many as 40 participants.
The activity could be done using online tools such as Padlet, virtual whiteboard and breakout rooms in Teams/Zoom.
