Activity: “Topic Exploration Brainstorm”

Instructions:

  • Divide pupils into small groups.
  • Assign each group a topic to brainstorm about, such as ‘Ways to Help the Environment’ or ‘Ideas for a Fun School Event.’
  • Give each group a sheet to list all their ideas, no matter how simple or silly, in 5 minutes.
  • Next, show them how to find additional information on the internet by searching for related ideas (if online resources are available in the classroom). Alternatively, you can demonstrate on a projector.
  • Encourage them to check at least one reliable source for more ideas to add to their list.
