  1. Gallery Walk Rules

    1) Appoint someone (the Defender) in your group to stand by your group work.
    2) The rest of members will walk (in clockwise direction to the nearest group) and ask questions. The Defender will ‘defend’ the groups’ choice of diagram.
    3) Wait for MrDanny to give signal to move on. 1-2 min per group.
