Spectrums Debrief
Simple, quick & non-verbal technique to debrief a group’s experience
At A Glance
People respond to a series of questions by standing between two points of a spectrum.
What You Need
- Ample room to assemble your group in a line.
What To Do
Position your group so that they can see a line (imaginary or otherwise) marked on the ground about 5 to 8 metres long (depending on how many people are in your group). Or, place two items this distance apart and suggest that there is an imaginary line between them.
It may sound like… “Imagine that this end of the line means Extremely Easy, and this other end of the line means Impossible, and all other levels of easy to hard fit in between this spectrum. Thinking about our lesson today balancing on your surfboard in the water, where would you stand on this line in regards the relative ease of that task – at one end, or the other, or somewhere in between?”
Variations
- Introduce two or more ‘spectrums’ in a row.
- Invite kids who happen to be standing close to one another, to share why they are standing where they are standing.
