Postbox

Activity

The teacher puts the starter questions, diagrams, photos, etc on six to eight pieces of paper and puts them round the room with the postbox under each sheet. The pictures below could be used for this exercise. You post your answers or responses in the boxes.

The teacher then numbers you from one to six. You take the box with the responding number (eg if you are number one you take the first box, number two the second box, and so on). The teacher will give you a large piece of paper and you will analyse the information and present it to the rest of the class using methods of your choice to get the message across. Everyone should participate in the presentation.

Then the teacher will ask you to write your own questions on pieces of paper and put them in the box. These questions could be the basis of your research, class discussion or debate topic.
