The Four Corner Activity:

Steps:

1. For an interesting multiple-choice question that many students are confused about, or a complex concept/idea that different students have varied understandings of
2. The teacher could write down the 4 different choices given on the whiteboard (make sure all students can see that clearly), marking the answers as A, B, C, and D
3. Then, the teacher could take out 4 pieces of paper and mark them as A, B, C, and D too
4. Next, the teacher could post the 4 pieces of paper at the 4 corners of the classroom, and ask his/her students to get out of their seats and move to the location (in the classroom) that best fits their choice
5. Good thing to remind the students that they can stand in the middle ground if they have mixed ideas or are uncertain between 2 or 3 or even all 4 answers
6. After all students have made a decision, ask some of them to share their thoughts on why they chose the place(s) they were at (remember to thank your students for sharing their thoughts~)

Note:

1. When students are moving around, make sure there are no objects in the classroom that could physically hurt them by chance: especially if this is a class of younger-aged students
2. If there are more than 4 answers, feel free to make this a five-corner or n-corner activity! (just make sure the classroom is large enough)
