Why it’s important

Creating Tangible Outcomes

•  Physical products that record, prompt, and reinforce student engagement with key course material.
•  Ideally, students take the tangible outcome with them after class to serve as a durable artifact of what happened in discussion.  

  • Creating opportunities for the session to yield some physical product that students can take home (e.g., notes, chart, concept map, essay outline).
  • The process of developing a tangible outcome to the session can be supported by:
    - Posting an agenda to signal what students will be accomplishing that day.
    - Using the board as discussion occurs to record, organize, summarize, and relate information/ideas. (This translates aural to visual and encourages students to take their own notes.)
