  5. Gallery Walk Notes • Instead of powerpoint/notes, we are going to do a gallery walk to get our note information. • Posts around the room for each of your key points (You do not have to go order; each post is labeled.) • You will have a limited amount of time to visit every post; however, each post is NOT timed. • If there are more than four people at a post, MOVE. • Expectations: Volume/Movement • Consequences • When you are finished….
