Walt,
I thought I'd respond to your concern about the individual activity
discussion not seeming like a team-based learning activity.
Because you follow that with a plan for each team to decide on one of
their activities to develop and try out on another team, this does seem
you can use this as a team-based activity. It sounds like you will ask
them to make a decision about what activity to select. They will need to
explain to teammates what each one planned, come to some consensus about
what criteria to use to select one to use with the other group, and make
that decision as a team.
Granted, they won't be competing with other teams for a "right" answer
report-out. Instead you could ask them to identify and discuss what
qualities (time duration, suitability for audience, ease of delivery,
ease of explanation, adaptability, amount of active learning, use of
critical thinking, solving a problem, etc.) they used to decide which
activity to try.

Excerpt--
Following that, they would discuss what they came up with
for their course, and get input from their team members. This is where
I have a dilemma - It doesn't seem like a team-based learning activity.
However, I can see that this might be a common type of thing instructors
might want to do - that is have students work on individual projects
that are meaningful to them - or that involve personal research. =20
The last day (second Thursday), Each team was to choose one of the
activities from among those their team members developed and try it out
with one of the other teams.
