General overview of how to implement it
To properly carry out the Five Ws and H technique to gather information and search for solutions or develop a defined message, follow these steps:
- Clearly define what your goals are when applying this tool, for instance:
- Do you want to create a message or communicate important information for your students?
- Do you want your students to reflect on a given scenario and come up with innovative approaches?
- Once you’ve set your goals, start reflecting on the questions on your own behalf to prepare the activity: what? who? when? where? why? how? Feel free to reflect on the question “why?” as many times as necessary, because answering this question correctly will be essential for the success of the activity.
- Develop an action plan based on the responses obtained according to your objectives.
