Envoying

Envoying

DESCRIPTION

Having discussed their own ideas or completed their own piece of research, each group sends an "envoy" to share their ideas or information with another group.

The envoy may be

• chosen by the group

• pre-selected and notified by the teacher

• selected by the teacher but only notified immediately before being sent.

To ensure fairness, the teacher may choose to use a "numbered heads" approach for selecting the envoy.

OUTCOMES

Before sending their envoy, each group must ensure that s/he is well prepared.  NB: It is the responsibility of the group to prepare the envoy.  If the group is not aware who the envoy will be, the onus is on them to ensure that every member fully understands what is to be shared.
