The Basics

Choose up to 5 or 6 students and have them sit in their desks, forming a strait line.

As the teacher, you give them a topic for the activity

One by one (In no particular order) they will stand up and elaborate on the topic

This is done until you feel like the students have a firm grip of the topic

The other students watch and listen for anything that they disagree with or find false.

History and Government

Topics- Any war, current event, historical events, leadership of countries, what you just had them read about…

Topic- WWII

Student A says Pearl Harbor

Student D says FDR declaring war

Student C says Hitler being in Power

Student B says August 6th, 1945 (dropping of atomic bomb)

English

Topics- Any books that you have read in class or assigned.

Would be really effective in this content area due to some people will remember different parts of a book.

Other examples could be key people in English.

Math

In many math cases, there are a process of steps you have to follow in order to get the correct answer

Have give each student a number and have them list the steps in chronological order.

Example X= -B +or- the square root of B2 times 4AC divided by 2A

Science/Physics

Go over the formulas one would need to know so they don’t set your classroom on fire.

If you are doing labs, go have the students say the sets in order (Kind of like the quadratic formula which we saw in math)
