and/or conclusions
connecting the theme
to the character).
Graffiti Tables
• Work for 5-7 minutes.
Check off the characters you’ve used on your
checklist (on the back) and write which theme you
added/developed with each in the blank beside it.
• Instead of repeating analysis points, use your
group’s color to put a check mark next to
something that is also along your line of thought.
Graffiti Tables
• Rotate to the next theme page and repeat.
• Questions?
Graffiti Tables
While Working Remember:
• Graffiti – messy, improvised, public, semi-permanent
• Each table will have one of the themes.
– Groups will spend 5-7 minutes at each table and then
rotate to the next theme.
– You’ll visit each theme once.
• Your group has one color to write in all hour.
• Share the handwriting responsibilities.
