Passive

Students get to choose strengths for their peers and give an explanation for the reason they chose that particular strength. Students get to both give and receive feedback during each round.
Rehearse
Construct
Students get encouraging feedback from their peers, and with that knowledge they build up their own self-image and self-confidence.
Linear
Non-linear/Creative
Rounds are structured and the teacher approves the students' comments before they are sent to the receiver.
Individual
Collaborative
All the feedback is given to the peers so there is always a social element when using Mightifier.
