A huddle or scrum is a short, "stand up" meeting designed to ensure everyone is on the same page and to quickly identify barriers to progress and possible solutions.
Scrum Structure
During team meetings, I will scrum with your team. At each scrum, I'll ask 2 questions:
What is your plan? - Who is doing what, and by when?
What are your barriers to progress?
I will ask one person to respond to the two questions, one person to take notes, and 2 people to probe -- add information and ask questions.
We'll use a timer to keep us moving quickly. When the timer goes off, the huddle is over. There is no "one more quick question"
Scrum Guidelines
Be prepared to be the first team to huddle - you will need to have each read the deliverable and discussed a general plan of attack before class starts.
As for question #1 - What is your plan? I will ask a random member of the team to present this information to me. This means that each person needs a mental map of what you are each doing and an understanding of what problems you face as a team.
As for question #2 - What are your barriers to progress?
Keep this focused on issues the team is struggling with. The huddle isn't designed for one-on-one tutoring or coverage of course material.
If everyone in the team is struggling with concepts, we can go over those, but bear in mind that there is limited time during huddle for such discussions. A better use of the huddle time is for discussing decisions you're having trouble making, issues coming to agreement, clarity about the assignment instructions, best methods for approaching a problem, etc.
How To Have a Terrible Huddle
Not ready:
I call on someone and it's clear they don't know what's going on.
I call on someone and another person starts talking.
"I wasn't here last class, so I’m not really sure where we left things".
Not making progress:
Your progress hasn't changed since the last time we met.
You don't have a clear (SMART) goal(s) identified.
You're waiting on a particular person to make progress on the project.
Not collaborating
No one seems to know what's going on.
You sit in a circle and don’t talk.
Each person appears to “do their own thing” or just work on “their part”
