Marcos Cicerone: First Day Activity

Marcos Cicerone shares a first-day activity that he uses in his classes.

Each group then gets a chance to introduce themselves and ask one of their questions. ("Our group's questions is...") Students can read their own question or another group member's question. Since groups often come up with similar questions, having three questions to choose from increases the likelihood that each group will have at least one unasked question to contribute. During the session we usually manage to cover most the important areas of the green sheet and I can also bring up any areas that are not covered by the students' questions. If time permits and there are unanswered questions, groups can ask a second question.

Read the full message here.
