Write a question or the beginning of a sentence on the board, such as “A good learner should…” 2. Give students...
Sometimes the best discussion strategies are the easiest. A small group of students meeting with their teacher for an informal chat about a topic or lesson is one of the simplest, yet most effective methods of encouraging students to engage in thoughtful discussion. The best part about an informal teacher-small group discussion, is that often stude...
A great discussion strategy for introducing new equipment or tactile tools into lessons! Present the students with a piece of equipment.
