 * |||||| //Elicit from the students prior knowledge on Engineers. Use a Carousel Brainstorm to generate ideas from the students. In this method, divide the class into small groups and provides each group with a large sheet of paper with a different subtopic or idea listed at the top. Allocate a short period of time for groups to brainstorm as many ideas related to their topic as possible. Then have groups pass their sheets on to the next group, and so on, until each group has been given the opportunity to add their ideas to every sheet. As the end of the brainstorming session, post all the sheets so that they can be viewed by the entire class. Lead a discussion to debrief the activity or return to the original sheet to each group and ask them to reflect on all of the additional ideas that each group added to their original brainstormed list.// ||  ||
