First Ten Minutes, Low Pressure

Activity

2 min

In the next 10 minutes, you will say your name once, hear several other voices, and notice that new-seminar hopes and worries are often shared. Short contributions count: a name, a few words, or a written response are all valid ways to take part. Written responses can be linked to your participant record and seen by a facilitator, so avoid sensitive details. The aim is to make the room easier to speak in, not to put anyone on the spot.

Prompt in

Create a short icebreaker for the first seminar of term with a new undergraduate seminar group of about 15 students. Help them learn names, get comfortable speaking, share module hopes, and offer a non-sensitive concerns check-in. Written responses can be linked to participants, so do not promise anonymity.
