Title of the Lesson: Brainstorming
Description of Lesson: Participants gather over a common goal and find solutions. Group synergy allows for new ideas to be dynamically constructed and recapitulated. Brainstorming is generally conducted in a synchronous session so that ideas can quickly develop; however, it can also be done asynchronously allowing for participants to consider options over time.
Appropriate Content Areas: Good for any process oriented course. Can also be used in political science or other fields involving social analysis. May also be attached to other group activities as an initial function.
Examples:
Brainstorming in Advertising

compare and discriminate among ideas, assess the value of various solutions, arrive at a consensus on the given solution, defend their own ideas and those that they choose to adopt, predict possible outcomes to a process, outline a proposal, report their final proposal, and/or list possible solutions
...as determined by successfully attending to 80% of rubric items.
