It looks like very creative and well organised activity. However, I worried about if it adjust this method to a large classroom as well because my school is normally at least 25 and 30 students in a class.  It's so difficult any activities to use in the large one. Any idea for me?

Great activity and step-by-step videos! I'd really like to know where the drawings came from - source, please?

I can imagine using comic strips and whiting out the text balloons, but they might have a logical sequence, whereas this activity's strength is that there is no "correct" order.

Thank you for the idea!

I really like this idea and had never seen it, heard of it or thought of it before.

I'm going to have a close look at the whiteboard in my classroom (and at the IWB) and see if I could get three teams writing simultaneously.....

Thanks, you've given me food for thought - what more can you ask for?
