My nugget: what I liked best during the session, what felt good, what I enjoyed.
My rake: what I liked least
An expectation: what I missed and would like to have next time
A desire: what I would like to see appear next time
The teacher can leave a container near the exit so that everyone can anonymously put their piece of paper in it when leaving the room.
Reading the contributions will allow the next session to be adjusted in content or form, if trends are revealed or if relevant requests are made.
