2. In small groups, practice brainstorming by listing the qualities you look for in a teacher—stop at the end of 2 minutes. Count your list and compare its length with other group’s lists. Discuss which of the rules for effective brainstorming gave your group the most trouble and why. Discuss how to divide your list of qualities into wants and musts. Keep your must list relatively short—if you have too many musts, you will never be able to find a teacher that meets them all. When finished, rank the wants from most important to least important striving to get a group consensus. Compare your list with other groups.
