    Paired conversations maybe. Student A and Student B. A has to speak to B for a minute on a topic and A takes notes or something like that.

    Group work of any kind. The students categories verbs/objects etc.

    Or they could do a short presentation on a topic and present back to the class. Give each student in the group a role, e.g reader, writer, reporter.

    Students read a piece of text and think up of their own questions based on the text instead of doing the ones in the textbook etc.

    Role plays are great active learning exercises.

    I think the work we did with 20 primary schools last year would qualify as active learning? Certainly under one definition I've found - "students more actively engaged in their own learning while educators take a more guiding role". That's what MissionV is all about - actively engaging through 'game-based learning' (GBL). So I guess GBL is the methodology.
