COOPERATIVE LEARNING STRUCTURES

Placemat Consensus
It is a cooperative learning tool designed to increase student engagement, foster collaboration and provide clear evidence of learning

Directions:
1.    Divide the students into groups (3-5 but ideally 4). Each student should write their name on one section of the placemat.
2.    A topic should be presented.
3.    Give the students about two minutes to write down all their thoughts on their side of the placemat.
4.    When this is done, the groups should then vote on the ideas they all agree on using the thumbs-up/thumbs-down method. 
5.    Ideas the group agrees on should be listed in the center circle.
