A range of plenary activities. The Plenary wheel rotates when pressed. The plenary chooser will light up one of the activities. The ometer acts as a class meter reading on a debate question, students vote by clicking agree or disagree button and the needle will move with each vote till the last one which will show the class average and a discussion can follow. Use the class voter to carry out a class poll on their opinions to a question. Work well when comparing who they think is the most important person. The shoot out works by splitting the class into teams. Ask the students questions and if they get it right they can press shoot button and keep score of the item that was shot. Students loved this task. The plenary activities are all different version of the same task.
