29. SPEED SHARING (Discussion, Writing)
Description: This fun protocol allows students to share information with others and truly follows the desired 80% student talk to 20% teacher talk ratio.
Application: Use Speed Sharing when a broad overview of the topic is desired.
Process: Assign students a section of information to study. Tell students to “become experts” on the section of information, making sure they highlight the most important information and take notes if needed. Next class, arrange desks in an inner/outer circle formation, with students’ desks facing each other. After students are seated, tell them that they will have one minute to share/explain the most important information about the section and remind them to keep their paper in front of them as they are talking to the other student facing them. After the minute, tell the students to switch “experts” and allow the other student to share. After that minute, tell students that they have thirty seconds each to ask clarifying questions about the subject matter. Direct the students in the inner circle to remain seated and the students in the outer circle to shift counter-clockwise one seat, and the process repeats until the students are with their original partners.
