OER4Schools/What is interactive teaching: Difference between revisions

{{activity|Planning in pairs|5}} Plan a brainstorm.  You can do this activity in pairs but each one of you should plan an individual brainstorm activity that you will use with your class before the next session.

{{activity|Brainstorm|5}} Pick one or two of the brainstorms that were just planned and try them on the rest of the group.

The topic of the brainstorm needs to generate lots of ideas. Look out for topics that have correct responses and are narrow in scope e.g. name the parts of a flower.  This would not be a suitable topic to brainstorm, instead the topic could be 'what do we know about flowers?'.  Also, encourage participants to accept all responses without evaluation and if possible, to make a note of them for all to see.

{{activity|Group discussion|5}} Did this work? How do you know?  Did everyone participate?   

{{activity|Planning in pairs|5}} Revise a brainstorm, thinking of ways to rephrase your topic so that it generates lots of ideas.
