Wat is Graffitimuur?
The Graffiti Wall is a collaborative brainstorming strategy that uses large-scale visual displays to capture student thinking, activate prior knowledge, and foster peer-to-peer dialogue. By allowing students to move around the room and contribute simultaneously to different prompts, it lowers the barrier to participation and creates a non-threatening environment for sharing ideas. This methodology works because it leverages the 'social constructivist' framework, where knowledge is co-created through interaction rather than passive reception. It effectively visualizes the collective consciousness of the classroom, making abstract concepts concrete and allowing teachers to identify misconceptions in real-time. Beyond simple engagement, the strategy promotes critical thinking by requiring students to synthesize their thoughts into concise text or sketches and respond to the contributions of others. It is particularly effective for pre-assessment, mid-unit reflection, or review sessions, as it encourages movement and provides a kinesthetic break that can reset student focus and improve information retention across diverse learner profiles.

Hoe voer je een Graffitimuur uit?
Prepare the Prompts
Write open-ended questions, quotes, or problems on large pieces of chart paper and tape them to different walls around the classroom.
Distribute Materials
Provide each student or small group with a different colored marker to help track contributions and ensure accountability.
Establish Ground Rules
Explain that the activity is often silent and that students should move freely between papers to add new ideas or respond to existing ones.
Facilitate the Rotation
Allow 10-15 minutes for students to circulate, ensuring they visit multiple stations and engage with the content deeply.
Conduct a Gallery Walk
Have students walk through one final time without writing to read the completed 'walls' and identify the most frequent or surprising ideas.
Debrief and Synthesize
Lead a whole-class discussion to summarize findings, clarify misconceptions identified on the papers, and connect the activity to the lesson objectives.
