Tip: Cooperative Learning for Brainstorming > Graffiti Wall

SKU:

Cooperative learning structures can be used for many purposes: brainstorming, community-building, reflection, and much more! This month, we are highlighting FIVE cooperative learning strategies to use in your classroom to prompt brainstorming with your learners!


Next up: Graffiti Wall! To use this strategy:

  1. Place learners into teams. (Consider using an eMINTS Grouping Strategy.)
  2. On the whiteboard or chart paper, record a title for a graffiti wall.
  3. Ask learners to write comments and/or draw pictures to reflect their thoughts on the topic. 
  4. Learners consider: What do they know and remember? What have they experienced? 
  5. Participants should also respond to the comments of others on the wall. They might use arrows to connect their ideas to those of others.
  6. Ask teams to discuss and summarize what they see or what conclusions they might draw from the wall.
