Our group discussed that participation could be by sharing your thoughts out loud or writing them down on a paper or a post-it. Participating could also mean just showing up, acknowledging that you want to be there. If you show up, you're proving that you're ready to listen and help contribute to the lesson.

"Many activities and team play participation will give you a training that will prove invaluable later on in life" - Walter Annenberg

Participation is key. Everyone should feel included. It is best to hear everyones thoughts because you can see everyone’s personalities as well. If a student does not want to talk out loud they can write their answer on a paper and hand it to the teacher for the teacher to say it out loud instead.

Participation should not shame students who don't talk. Showing up to class is more than enough participation for students because it shows they want to be there, and it shows that they are ready to listen. It should be encouraged well, so students don't feel scared to answer in their environment.

Participation comes in many different ways such as talking, raising your hand or even giving an input on something such as gestures.

Our group believes that participating can be done in various ways within the classroom environment. The student may engage with the lesson by talking, listening and following along with the lesson. These methods show active engagement and is not only focused on the verbal component of engagement.

We should strive to have inclusive class discussions so that everyone has a chance to participate

always communicating and never assuming. if there is any question or misunderstanding, always ask the student why they did that and keep and open mind. this allows for the students to always feel comfortable to speak and not feel like their answer is wrong.

We should acknowledge that some people just listen to participate, and we should not conform to the stigma that you have to speak to be present in the classroom. Some people are shy, some might not speak English well, etc. and so we should be accepting of them.

Participation doesn't strictly have to be raising your hand and speaking in class, it can involve hand gestures to show that you agree with something, and can also be taking/writing down notes for yourself or for a group of people.

Our group believes that participation is when the student is engaged or listening to the specific objective that was given to them. Along with that we can create a safe space for students to express their opinions and share their ideas.

Participating means voluntarily engaging in a topic. Some people are more shy than others, so maybe they prefer listening or engaging in an online discussion. Others may like to speak out loud to get their message across. As long as a student is paying attention and show up to class then they are participating.

👏 - any form of participation should be praised

We discussed that participation can be seen in raising our hands or talking to classmates to exchange ideas. Feeling comfortable talking to classmates can keep important conversations discussed in class while also giving a better understanding to classwork to those confused.
