Students are provided with a question or prompt for which they need to generate ideas, solutions, or questions. Each student is given several Post-its on which they write a single idea. Students then post the Post-its on the chalkboard or wall (could have several different prompts around the room). Once students have generated the Post-Its, the facilitators can group the Post-its by topic, theme,
question, chronology, etc.
