Braindump is literally dumping everything that is in a head in terms of knowledge, experience, and associations around a theme or issue. Students retrieve acquired knowledge and experiences from previous lessons and from their earlier life experiences by writing it down.
• Ask students to silently write down from memory what they know, have experienced, and what associations they have with a topic/issue. • Ask a few students to share what they have written and possibly explain it. • Ask other students if they recognize this and/or have any additions.
You can display the input from students in a mind map or write the topics down so that they are visible to the whole group. During the explanation, you can refer back to the knowledge/experiences that students mentioned earlier a few times.
No special requirements.
