One minute challenge

This strategy will help students to:

• focus on a topic, recall prior knowledge and identify future learning needs.

Implementation

1. Explain to students they will be given exactly ‘one minute' to write down all they know or would like to know about a certain sexual health or relationship topic.

2. Students share their writing with a partner or group.

3. Use common areas of interest to guide the choice of future learning experiences.

Variation

Have students reflect on their understandings and attitudes after completing the learning experiences from a unit or focus area.

For example:

What was the most important or useful piece of information you learnt from these activities?

What two questions do you still have?

What would you like to know more about?
