Elena Overvold, in a late night Cascadia Conference small group setting with Lina Rubio and Erin Anthony coaching session on the Word Chunk Team Game, improved on the only weakness in the game, for those who are familiar with it:
When the kids put their heads together to try to get the answer to the question, in order to prevent the fastest processor from just blurting out the answer, they must all say the answer together.
Then, in a second new upgrade to the WCTG process, we figured out that the enforcers would have the right to disqualify a team if they just parrot the translation given to them by the fast processor. In that case, one of the most disenfranchised kids in the room could banish one of the white blond privileged kids to the sidelines of the game. Me likey equity.
It’s not a perfect solution to the weakest link in the game, but it’s an improvement. It forces the group to at least share information and prevent the fast kid from destroying the flow of he process. It works to make the game better.
