Example & Prompt
You are teaching the group how to be better facilitators. You’ve introduced a number of different processes they can use to guide their group through a brainstorm.
You give them a scenario detailing a specific group they’re tasked with working with, and ask them to decide which brainstorming tactic they would use and why.
When you have spokespeople to share, outline how their share should sound. Let them know whether they should go in-depth or simply name the process that was chosen.
