Students

1. You are to read out aloud - one paragraph at a time by a different student - the following article from The Conversation 2 December 2021

2. In pairs, students are to

• write a question or questions about the stimulus material from each of the four question quadrants (see below)
• share the thinking questions with the class by writing up on a whiteboard
• select the most common question to discuss.
• In a circle, conduct a discussion on this common question
• Hold to the class discussion rules of:
  • one person speaks at a time
  • listen carefully to the speaker: listen for understanding; listen charitably
  • the speaker selects the next speaker
  • speakers are respectful and build on the previous speaker's point of view or questions that view logically
  • be prepared to think and take time to think
• Keep a record of the other student questions to come back to them if needed
• Provide closure [Teacher]
