Recording ideas

As you record their ideas, the brainstorming approach can encourage most of your students to contribute ideas freely and imaginatively.

1. Are rules enough? (5 minutes)

Begin with brainstorming a list of ideas in response to the following question:

  • What would help combatants follow the rules?
    [For example: knowledge of the rules, training in the rules, commanders who do not give unlawful orders and who set a good example, logistical support for respecting the rules, knowledge that violations are prohibited and will be punished]

Then, for each idea in the list, ask them to say who they think is responsible for providing it.
