Is there a resource that has philosophical chairs topics aligned with the NGSS?

# data[].attributes.body
I did not know there were different types of philosophical chairs. I learned about preparation for this activity and guidelines for teachers and students to follow.

Does this need to be a question of ethics or can students just argue opposing viewpoints on a solution? Can you do this quickly or does it always need to be a big event with lots of planning?

Philosophical chairs allows students to gather evidence, speak their ideas out loud, argue, listen and reflect.

Allows students to take ownership in there learning

# data[].attributes.body
The planning for philosophical chairs is super important in terms of creating a quality question, being ready to switch gears if needed, and being ready to respond to ideas/thoughts/feelings that come up. It is important that students understand and respect rules of engagement.

2. How to have students interact with the text.
3. An activity to allow the students to use their knowledge in real world application.

1. What is the best method for modeling philosophical chairs?
2. How much prep time is needed for the students to create their opinion with text evidence?

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate that Philosophical Chairs not only promotes practice in academic language but also relationship/community building

# data[].attributes.body
This is a great way for students to interact with text and use the information in a real world application. Students love to share their opinions and being able to support their side with evidence is an important skill.

The actual P-Chairs activity is great.  I would have liked to see more of the teacher prep side.  Similar to Socratic Seminars, there is a lot of teacher prep, and front end coaching.

1. "would you rather" is a good opening tool for philosophical chairs because it gets students engaged with an easier question before moving on to the topic at hand
2. I learned what philosophical chairs is from the Nearpod and how best to utilize it in my classroom
3. A colleague showed me that INB can be used as tools in the application phase of any new learning in order to increase student buy-in

1. How do I best introduce digital INB to English Language Learners? Is there a way to create a step-by-step guide?
2. What other chemistry specific topics are good to use for philosophical chairs?

I learned a lot of concrete strategies that I can take with me and use in the classroom. It is hard to digest so much information in a short amount of time, but taking notes and having resources that I can return to is definitely helping.

I find it harder to work alone. Last year I go so many good ideas from the people around me. I do not learn very good from just reading. I like the discussion parts during the morning better then the afternoon part.

I love nearpod but there were some new tools that I liked in the Nearpods from today.  Can't wait to get to use them.

As for Philosophical chairs, I think it will be a great addition to my curriculum that is really boring for my students.  Just need to figure out how to do it virtually if we are distance learning.

I loved the slide where we did a mind map in Nearpod. I will DEFINITELY be using those in my lessons next year.

1. It's important to explicitly teach strategies to students through modeling and practicing so students can build confidence and experience with the strategy.
2. The sheer amount of things you can do within Nearpod!
3. An easy way to differentiate content by giving students choice in their learning

# data[].attributes.body
1. How could I implement philosophical chairs digitally?
2. Is there a resource that already has a bank of prompts that work for philosophical chairs?

# data[].attributes.body
I cannot wait to convert some of my notes/units to Nearpod and some of the other online platforms you have showed us. Our district will have a blended format for learning this next school year and think these will be very helpful in teaching digitally.

For the digital INB, would you have to basically have all pages planned out and ready to go before sharing with students. You wouldn't be able to easily add pages once students make copies. Do you make a new digital INB for each unit? Have you had students copy and paste slides from a view only file? What has this looked like for you?

1. I need to prepare or see one from an experienced teacher.
2. I was unaware of the variations and I enjoyed the Jury Style option more the classical.
3. Students will definitely need practice using superficial prompts (see scaffolds) and with and while this is a way for them to be comfortable with public speaking, I feel like there are activities I need to do to teach them to be more of a ham and let loose.

Philosophical chairs is a more structured approach to debates that will require careful prepping and practice. It will ultimately boost many students skills. It has WICOR all over it.

# data[].attributes.body
1- What Philisophical Chairs is
2 - cool down period for students who need it.
3- unknown word think map

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is a very useful tool but it might need to have the right class for this type of activity. Implemented correctly will hit all parts of the WICOR strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Philosophical Chairs is a form of debate NOT competition
2. Engagement expectations should be reviewed before the activity
3. You can increase the rigor of philosophical chairs by having the students pick a stance and then promptly switching it so they will have to defend the opposite side.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Are there resources available to add philosophical chair reflection forms and other docs into INBs?
2. Are there prompts specifically available to NGSS?

I would like to incorporate philosophical chairs into my curriculum next year. This will be an interesting test considering that class sizes may be smaller due to COVID-19.

1. The timer is essential!
2. Students determine central statements.
3. Student responses must be CONCISE.

Philosophical chairs is a great way for students to use writing, verbal communication, and critical thinking skills to connect with text in class.

This seems like it would take multiple days to prepare for this activity. What would be a good way to start the first day leading up to it?

# data[].attributes.body
It is a great way for students to find their voice and understand how others can influence their opinions. It gives students the opportunity to practice verbal skills as well as critically think about certain subjects.

As a new teacher, it is hard to set up this activity in class. I am still trying to make sure I have classroom management down. However, I love the idea and I really want to try this in class.

# data[].attributes.body
what are some AVID sources to support teachers with organizing the process/planning as well as the evaluation of the philosophical chairs? Is there a tool that can help me self reflect on how the activity went in class?

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that intentional planning must take place in order to incorporate strategies such as philosophical chair. Keeping in mind what the goals for the students are as well as their strengths and areas of need can make for successful integration of these strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophical chairs support the mission of having students be college and career ready by providing opportunities for kids to use and engage in academic discourse

# data[].attributes.body
I learned the importance of understanding how to intentionally teach, guide and facilitate a strategy like Philosophical Chairs.  It doesn't just fall into place.

# data[].attributes.body
What are some responses to students who begin to get too "passionate" about their viewpoint that wouldn't devastate their confidence, but would quickly let them know that they need to take it down a notch so the activity could get back on track?

# data[].attributes.body
Philosophical chairs is a strategy that allows students to have a respectful, rich discussion that is based on logic and evidence  that supports their viewpoint.  It also allows them to change their minds as they are presented with new information and ideas.
