Day 5 activities in Malt project

Day 5 - session 1

We had to demonstrate one activity how we engage learners.
We show one ice braking method. We have written all participants names on the sheets of paper, asked every one choose one of the sheet with name and write down what does he think about this person, or what was the first opinion, impression on that people. Then asked to give that sheet of paper back. After that, we gave again to pull and choose one of sheet where now was written name and the opinion about one of participant, now person could read this loud and every one could help him to guess who is this person.



After that we used voting system and answered on questions. Made a discussion of what we have learnt. And then we try to use removing boards.
