TIMESTAMP 3h 45' Activities 1h 15' Break
STEP 1: Project Recap + Extracting Keywords (1.5hr) Free talking while Clara is transcribing + AAA mapping (decide on mapping tool)
One student introduces one topic related to his/her work and if another student finds a link to their work, they should raise their hand. If using video, literally raise your hand. If not using video, use the raise hand function.
The first student to raise their hand in agreement should briefly say why they also relate to the topic. Once the explanation is done, they bring in another keyword. Whoever resonates with that keyword should raise their hand and repeat the process.
At the same time we write down the connections between their topics and terms on a pad.

Exercise 1 Fridge magnets exercise Paloma? Could she help? From the thematic cluster words, try to come up with as many titles as you can. Each word in each title should be a movable bubble/object on a map (a magnet) Move the words around, mixing and matching individual words as if they were fridge magnets
