On Monday, September 8th we played Definition Wars. This activity needs a lot of work still. How about responding - what you like, and what you would change? I will start.
What I liked about it:
- Deep discussions about Important Stuff (TM), such as "Are words symbols?" or "Does the number line start from zero?"
- Some people being very active and engaged
- The definitions we made
- The Talking Stick idea - thanks Lucy L.!
Things I want to change:
- We have no record of definitions, and of objections on the way. How can we capture it? Movies? Taking notes? What?
- Some people were spectators. Should we have a Spectator role?
- It was too long for people to wait for their turn. Should we split into smaller groups, each conducting a definition war on their own, and then sharing their result with the large group?
