How can we work with the Key Concepts? - Activity 1
Post-it activity relating to key concepts
Description:
Students in small groups are presented with post-its and asked to write their initial thoughts about what each of the key concepts means to them. This can be achieved through having a ‘Key Concept' statement on different walls or on different tables around the classroom.

Once students have completed their initial thoughts on the first key concept then they can either:
1. As a group move onto the next key concept and repeat the task in the same group
Or
2. Jigsaw so that one student per key concept makes up a new larger group where all key concepts are represented for discussion and sharing. The students then return after an allocated time to their original group to share their findings.
