TOT 107: Four Baskets’ Method

Collection – Basket

Choose the topic. Choose at least three sub-topics. Collect some exercises- case histories-examples- slides-handouts related to the topic/subtopics. Write down the headings/titles of all that you have collected on one paper. Mark it as B1.

Selection – Basket 

Amongst all that you have collected, select what you feel is appropriate. Select only those which you can deal with in the given time. Write them down on another paper. Leave the rest in the first basket itself. Mark it as B2.

Clarity – Basket 

Work on each of the topics/subtopics you have selected. Decide as to what and how much you are going to speak on what. How much time you would be spending on the selected exercise/story/narrative/ problem /role play etc. 

Write down in your own shorthand against each of the components, the minor details along with the allocated time. Mark it as B3

Organized Basket

Write down on a paper picking up components from the second and third basket (Baskets 2 and 3). This organized basket shall remain with you while you present. This will help you to navigate your presentation in the right direction.

Note: Contents of the Organized basket should be written down on paper as small as a palm chart.
