Share One, Get One

After reading text, listening to a lecture, viewing a video or a presentation, etc. students create a nine-block matrix. In the matrix, they write three ideas, concepts, etc. in three separate boxes. Then, students are given time to move around the room and talk with their peers. For each person they talk to, they exchange ideas from each other’s matrices. The goal is that they will have nine unique pieces of information they learned earlier in the class period.
