Summary
Three minutes of thinking time is a activity where students connect new subject matter to previous subject matter and complement each other, without the teacher's help.
Step by step
• Students individually summarize the core of the new subject matter and how it relates to prior knowledge. • Form groups of 2-3 students. Each group gets 3 minutes to: • Complement each other and come up with the best description. • Formulate a question they still have. • Discuss any questions that arise.
Tips
• The question can also be a quiz question for other students. • Use this working form especially when large chunks of subject matter need to be processed.
