GOAL
The students get the opportunity to write down and gather their thoughts and to check their understanding.
STEP-BY-STEP
- The teacher asks a question or sets a task:
- It can be a very precise question to at text, a problem, a model, a definition, etc.
- It can be a task such as translating a definition or a quotation into Danish or paraphrasing a definition or a quotation into one’s own words. (1 minute.)
- Now the students write without stopping in a Padlet, a Google Docs or Blackboard Blog.
- The thoughts must flow freely, and the students should not aim at writing a structured paper. (1–3 minutes.)
- The students get a little time to read what they have written and gather their thoughts. (2 minutes.)
- The answers are shown on the classroom screen and the teachers wraps up.
