Wailing Wall

Students write criticisms on colored sheets of paper on a specific topic. These are collected and stuck on a large sheet of paper, the “wailing wall”. This is a good way of getting  criticism and frustration out without comment. It can also be used as an introductory method for taking stock in planning processes.
