Mind Map/Musical Chairs
Resources:
Teacher to put together using masking tape a number of pieces of sugar paper to create a massive piece of sugar paper; note the masking tape divides the paper up.
What to do:
Each ‘box’ can be assigned as a section in the exam or a key point from a text and so on.
Students then rotate around the room/mind map using their coloured pen… (each student to be given a different coloured pen See Silent Mind Map post)
1- to add general points
2- they then circle another persons point and add a point to it
3- then go back to a point of theirs thats been circled and respond to it
4- continue adding general points
Students have then completed a class mind map-
You can now play musical chairs!
Students to walk around the mind map with music playing- when the music stops the person left standing will face questions from the others sitting down based on the mind map. Everyone must ask the questions.
When a student is ‘out’ they take control of thinking of the first question(s) for the next person who is out!
