One Minute Debrief

January 8, 2012 by
Filed under: Debrief Strategies 

One of the quickest and easiest debriefing techniques ever devised!

At A Glance

A group is asked to respond rapidly to one or more questions in no more than sixty seconds.

What You Need

  • Form one large or several small groups.
  • Everyone standing or sitting in a circle.

What To Do

This is perfect for those moments when you have very little time to debrief your group’s experrience.

It may sound like this… “Using my watch, you have exactly 60 seconds to share whatever you’re thinking about two important questions (or topics). Are you ready? Okay, your first question is … (enter question, time elapses) … ten seconds remaining … Okay, second question is .. (enter question) .. quick, less than ten seconds to go …”

Variation

  • Use this timed strategy with the Whip Around technique, to encourage everyone to participate.
