Looking at the key skills framework
1. One skill per group
2. Listen as your Reader reads your skill aloud
3. Think about learning activities that would help foster that skill in your subject(s)
5. Together, draw up a list
6. Choose 1 to share
You have 20 minutes

Looking at the key skills framework
Now number each group participant in groups e.g. 1-6. There must be an equal number of people with the number 1, an equal number with number 2 etc
Ask all number 1s to sit together; all number 2s etc
Participants must teach the people in their new group what they learned in the previous group
