Walk About Survey
Overview:
Instantly gets students involved in the lesson topic in an active and cooperative manner.
This is a great activity for implanting key lesson questions in the students’ minds through repetition, and for discovering prior knowledge/areas of weakness.
Number of people: Whole class.
Materials: Index cards for each student. List of questions relating to the lesson content posted on charts/posters around the room or on a Power Point slide.
Time: 10 minutes.
Directions:
1. Each student is given an index card on entry to the room and told to write the seven questions from the wall charts/Power Point slide on their card (leaving room under each one for the answer). Students of lower ability may need pre-written lists of questions.
2. Students move round the room trying to find someone who knows the answer to any one of the questions. When a student answers a question they write the answer and their initials/name under the question on the card.
3. Students return to their seats and the teacher reads through the list of questions.
Students raise their hands if they managed to find an answer to the question and the totals are noted. Questions with few answers are those which need to be answered during the lesson.
