4. Group Discussion Questions
Did you enjoy going through the “Marshmallow Challenge”? Why or why not?
If you HAD seen this before in Citizenship class, how did that background knowledge assist you?
Which IB Learner Profile Traits were exercised? How?
Did you create any “pro-types” with your team? If ‘yes’, how did that help your group in the end? If ‘no’, what ideas would you have tried before going with the design you did?
How were your communication skills? Which student, if any, was like the “manager” of the group? Why?
Refer to the ‘Standards-Based Grading in Intro. to IB’ handout I gave you last class. Skim through each criterion and connect each part of your “Marshmallow Challenge” process to the criteria.
