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!
