Thanks for this and Chris Burns for the hot pepper exercise. I run a workshop for those with no prior experience of TBL and have test questions based on one of your earlier summaries of TBL, Jim, which I send out a few days ahead. Then I use an application activity based on sustainability related issues in health which works well.
The thing I don't do is to refer to the summing up as a mini lecture. This is because our experience (and we are new to this) shows that students initially want lectures but we go to great lengths to explain why TBL does not use lectures. I therefore refer to time for clarification after the team tests when we allow 5-10 minutes for discussion around areas where there is a lack of understanding (using team test results as the start point for this). Then at the end of the unit I show a slide that summarises what they should know at this stage linking the previous and subsequent units.
Hope this is useful - it works for us and gets away from 'lectures' as the basis for any element of what we do.
Best wishes

> Subject: Intro to TBL for Law Professors -- Should We Use Familiar or Unfamiliar Material?
>
> At the end of June, a colleague and I are presenting at a conference for law professors who teach legal writing and analysis. We have 45 minutes to introduce them to TBL. (I wish we had more time, but that's all we could get.) We plan to introduce TBL using the RAP and application exercises.
>
> Our first major decision is whether or not to use law-related material for the RAP and applications. Although the conferees will be familiar with the concepts and principles involved in legal writing, I wonder whether it would be better to use material that is not familiar.
>
> For those of you who have done one of these insanely short presentations, what works best? Do you assign a reading assignment before the presentation or do you use the first few minutes to allow participants to read the material that will be on the RAP?
>
> For a lot of these conferees, this will be their first exposure to TBL and I want to make sure we give them something inspiring and thought-provoking. Thanks for any insights you can offer.
