Assign the class a theme or topics of discussion and then give children five minutes to interview each other about the key information relating to the topic in question. Students quiz one another, sharing their thoughts, and taking notes. After the time has passed, get the children to rotate roles. This allows children to apply different questioning strategies, reflect on their understanding of the topic and collaborate in their groups as they take on each role.

Students fold a piece of paper in half and write “Give One” on one side and “Get One” on the other side. On the “Give One” side, as them to write four insights from today’s material. Have them stand up and find a partner. Each student shares one idea from their “Give One” side of the paper and writes down one idea on the “Get One” side of the paper. Find a new partner until your “Get One” side of paper is full of new ideas!

# data[].attributes.body
Each group is given a different topic. Re-mix groups with one planted “expert” on each topic, who now should teach his new group.

# data[].attributes.body
Students do partner work first, then sound off by twos. All of the 2’s stand up and find a new partner (the 1’s are seated and raise their hands until a new partner comes), then debrief what was said with the first partner.

Students write notes on the most unclear or most confusing element of a given homework assignment, lecture, or class discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
Students discuss how a topic or concept relates to a real- world application or product. Then students write about this topic for homework.

# data[].attributes.body
Divide students into groups. Give the first group a case or a problem and ask them to identify (and write down) the first step in solving the problem or analyzing the case (3 minutes). Pass the problem on to the next group and have them identify the next step. Continue until all groups have contributed.

Students share and compare possible answers to a question with a partner before addressing the larger class.

# data[].attributes.body
Use the chapter or lesson title as the pool of letters from which to make words, and allow teams to brainstorm as many words relevant to the topic as possible. You can also actually play scrabble and ask students to form words from the newly learned vocabulary.

# data[].attributes.body
An envelope is given to every student. Inside are cut-up strips of paper with the topics/principles they should know about already. They divide into two piles: things they know well, and things they need help with. Then they discuss with nearby students on things any of them need help with.

This is an end of the class session. Students write for one minute on a specific question.

Place the class into a long-term simulation to enable Problem-Based Learning

# data[].attributes.body
Tape a term or name on the back of each student. You can also tape it on their forehead. Each student asks “yes or no” questions to the other students in their group in an effort to guess the term. The term has something to do with your lesson topic.

Students write a letter of advice to future students on how to be successful students in that course/lesson.
