Explaining something

1. Research information / reinforce knowledge
2. Gather most important/relevant information, summarize and simplify
3. Explain (by using examples, visual aids)
4. Summarize and check understanding (can even ask to explain back to be sure of understanding)

Assignment instruction

What: In groups of 3/4 choose a term, understand what it means, summarize it and explain it to the other team.

How: you are not allowed to use the term itself.

Help: Your team, otherwise Google is a good friend.

Time: ~ 15-20 min research - 10 minute explanation
