This two-hour workshop is designed to teach strategies for creating lively and fruitful conversations that help students enjoy class time, build critical thinking skills and understand the fundamental questions of the course. We will identify the thinking and argumentation skills your students should be practicing, learn common questions and prompts that address these skills, review a grab-bag of discussion activities (ice-breakers, fishbowl, “think, pair, share”, consensus, brainstorm, etc.), and design discussion-based lesson plans. Even if you don’t yet know what specific discussion you’ll be leading, you’ll leave this workshop with a small arsenal of activities that will get them listening and talking!
