The gallery walk needed to be a gallery walk. Given the effectiveness of the guided gallery walk in maintaining student engagement and necessitating student thinking, this should be the most frequently used method of consolidation. This is not to say that the other two methods are ineffective, but they should be used only in situations where the guided gallery walk is not suitable.
