5. ABC’S (Feedback, Discussion, Collaboration)
Description: This game-style protocol is fast, furious, and fun!
Application: Use this as a review or a pre-assessment activity in any subject.
Process: Divide class into groups of four; allow each group to choose a paper-writer and a whiteboard-writer. Give each group a white board, marker, paper, and pen. Instruct students that the object of the activity is to record a unique term for each letter of the alphabet that is relevant to the chosen topic within a given amount of time (five minutes). Encourage students to be quiet when discussing because they do not want to “give away” answers to the other groups. Announce topic to students. After five minutes, say “Stop, paper-writers pass list to whiteboard-writers who will copy A-G.” Direct them to then hold up terms to show the class their answers.” Tally only unique terms and repeat process to get through H-N, N-S, T-Z. Remind students that the teacher has final say in all terms submitted.
