Placemat Consensus (Cooperative learning)

Hello! I share this template that I have designed to work with our students on the cooperative technique "Placemat Consensus". If you do not know it, it is a very motivating dynamic that consists of the following steps:

1st We form heterogeneous work groups of four people and ask them a question that is answered by means of a list or list of elements.

2.º Each one of the members writes his answer individually in his corresponding portion.

3rd The members of the team contrast the answers among themselves orally.

4th A consensus response is written based on the contributions in the center of the template.

Building the template is very easy! There are two sheets, the first one is for trimming and the second one is the base. Once the five portions have been cut, we laminated everything and put Velcro on them so that they can be placed and taken off without any problem in their corresponding section. It is advisable that the students write with a whiteboard marker so that their answers can be easily erased once the activity is over. In this way we can reuse this resource as many times as we want.

I hope you like it and you find it useful!
