To review the multiple intelligences learned this week, students first competed in a concentration game. Below the students are participating in a protocol called World Cafe. They loved it! Here is how it works: Purpose To discuss a topic or various topics, rotating the role of leadership and mixing up a group of people. Procedure 1. Form three groups of 3 or 4 and sit together at a table. 2. Each group selects a “leader.” 3. The leader’s role is to record the major points of the conversation that takes place at the table and to then summarize the conversation using the recorded notes…a bit later. 4. The group discusses the topic at hand until time is called. Groups can be discussing the same topic or related topics. 5. The leader stays put; the rest of the group rotates to the next table. 6. The leader (the one who didn’t move) presents a summary of the conversation recorded from the former group to the new group. 7. Each table selects a new leader. 8. Again, the new leader’s role is to record the major points of the conversation that takes place at the table and to then summarize the conversation using the recorded notes…a bit later. 9. The group discusses the topic at hand until time is called. 10.Repeat the process, ideally until all participants have had a chance to lead. I was so impressed with how well they did! We had some great conversations and everyone was able to participate and have their voice heard!
