Your own structure
The one structure whose steps you write yourself. You line up your own items, choose how long each is worked on and talked about, and the screen keeps the class on the same point. In every other structure you set the content, the times and the words — in this one you also set the order.

- Work — 2 minutes
The item is on screen and everyone works on it until the time is up. You decide beforehand how long that is. - Talk it over — 1.5 minutes
Briefly discuss what came out, and the next item appears. If you want work without discussion, set this step to 'none'.
What you write yourself
The name and one sentence for the opening screen, the items (one per line, as many as you like), the two times, your own closing questions, and optionally a list to draw from — names, roles or themes, with a button that picks one for the whole class.
What this is not
This structure has no method of its own: you are the method. There is no role, no interdependence and no mechanism that makes everyone take part — that comes from what you put in it. The screen does two things: it keeps the class on the same item and it watches the clock.
