Numbered heads

Application

For short questions, resolution of an exercise, comprehensive reading of a text…

Aim

Get the whole group to assume the same objectives and that everyone knows to an equal extent the concrete and simple learning that they want to learn.

Dynamic

After working on a specific topic, a question, a problem, an operation, the team arrives at an answer and must work so that all its members have the ability to correctly explain the answer. Each member of the group is numbered and a number from 1 to 4 is drawn at random.

We propose the following exercise to each team:

Copy this table in your notebook and classify in it the following terms:

• Diesel oil
• Wood
• Natural gas
• Coal
• Water
• Uranium
• Petroleum
• Wind

Everyone must do it at one time. After the same, the teacher will say the number that indicates who picks up the exercise in each team. This is for the team note. One of the chosen ones will explain to each class their resolution.

Timing 

One session. 5 minutes will be timed for the performance of the exercise.
