1. Challenge: Uneven Participation
- Challenge: Some students dominate the conversation while quieter students withdraw.
- Tip: Assign rotating roles (note-taker, speaker, idea organizer) so responsibilities shift.
- Trick: Use an object (ball or token) to ensure each student shares at least one idea.
2. Challenge: Large Class Size
- Challenge: Too many groups make whole-class sharing time-consuming.
- Tip: Use representatives to summarize group outcomes.
- Trick: Use digital collaborative tools (Padlet) to visualize ideas efficiently.
3. Challenge: Students struggle to stay imaginative
- Challenge: Some students focus on “correct” answers instead of creative exploration.
- Tip: Show short, surprising story starters as inspiration.
- Trick: Encourage wild, divergent ideas first (“brainstorming without limits”).
