Philosophical Chairs Reflections: 3 things learned

Philosophical Chairs allow students to choose a side and defend it with supporting evidence which would showcase their understanding of the text or allow them to change sides. It would also show them that everyone had the same text yet there are still differing points of view. I also learned that you need to incorporate a debriefing or cool down period to ensure that no one is leaving with a negative attitude.
