How to Make a Paper Flip Chart
What exactly is a flip chart? If you are familiar with PowerPoint, think of each page of a flip chart as a blank slide in a PowerPoint presentation. Flip charts are often large paper pads presented on easels where instructors write notes and lessons during a presentation. It can be used to promote and increase participation. Instructors can draw figures or charts with marker pens, then flip over the pad and continue on a new page. It is a great way to add contributions from various group members during brainstorming sessions.
