Graffiti Gist
Step One
Have each person at your table select one of the resources in your document box (two if there are extra and you have time). These documents are linked below for your convenience. You will be given 10 minutes to explore your resource and complete step 2.
Step Two
READ / EXPLORE your resource. CHOOSE or CREATE one (1) phrase or statement that stands out to you as either an "a-ha" statement, a statement with which you strongly agree, or a statement that provides you with a new perspective. Graffiti WRITE your phrase or statement on your chart paper at your table (or directly on the table if applicable). Everyone at the table should have a different color marker (do not use the red marker). Make sure you leave room around your statement for others to comment later.
Step Three
DISCUSS your resource with your table. In 60 seconds or less, each person will take turns discussing their resource. Everyone else will LISTEN and use the chart paper or table top to free write individual and collective thoughts as you discuss with the group. Free write as much as you would like from the discussion (one word to statements). You will write this around the statement being discussed.
Step Four
Based upon your small group conversations, CIRCLE the SEVEN (7) most important words on your poster as a group with the red marker. These words may be found in either your statements or from your free writing.
Step Five
USE the seven words circled to create a one- to two-sentence summary of your insights about digital teaching and learning. Use all seven words in your summary statement. You may add words to complete your thoughts but your original seven words must be in your statement. Write this in the center of your paper and ONE person from your group will type your group's statement below. SELECT a spokesperson from your group to share your group's summary.
