The strategy of Give One, Get One allows teachers to encourage student engagement and collaboration without allocating a tremendous amount of class time. Students list items relating to the content and will share with classmates. Each student shares, and then writes down what is shared. Students circle the room and collect as much information as they can.
I've used it on several occasions to review important elements of a lesson but I wanted to give it a little twist. The most recent application of the Give One, Get One strategy required students to actively read an article, summarize the author's key ideas in bullet point format, and then participate in Give One, Get One. By sharing the key points of the article, students developed a more in depth comprehension of the article's content.
Immediately following the G1G1, students participated in a class discussion and improved comprehension was clearly evident.
