| Process |
- Students form random groups of
between of 4-8
- Each group labels their café
location with a name
- Assign a recorder to each
group. This person remains at the table throughout the entire process
and records the conversation as authentically as possible.
- Students are given a topic to
discuss. Topics can be the new learning point, a review of previously
learnt information or a reflection of understanding up to this point
- At table groups, the
conversation flows as in a coffee shop with students sharing factual
information, opinion, and personal experiences related to the topic.
The recorder can contribute while capturing the key aspects of the
conversation.
- Every 5 to 8 minutes, students
randomly move to a new coffee shop. New groups at coffee shops are
formed with different members.
- When the new coffee shop groups
is formed, the recorder shares the key aspects of previous
conversations. This new group continues with conversing about the topic
while the recorder takes notes.
- This process can be continued
for 3 to 5 movements.
- The activity concludes with
feed back from each recorder on interesting points.
