Brain Dumps: A small strategy with a big impact. Pooja K. Agarwal. Nov. 30, 2017.

"Free recall is also known as a 'brain dump,' 'show what you know,' and a 'stop and jot.'"
  1. Pause your lesson, lecture, or activity.
  2. Ask students to write down everything they can remember.
  3. Continue your lesson, lecture, or activity."

Use this as a formative, not summative activity. Set a time limit or # of items. "To quickly add feedback, have students discuss their similarities and differences with each other ('turn and talk') for only a minute or two before moving on."
