I've done a small group discussion for 30 or so minutes and then had the students bring everything together for a whole class discussion. That way they can showcase what wonderful points they brought up and it helps to eliminate some of the off topic issues]]> 2016-10-29 13:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037100 https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037102 So how do we model that process of learning from mistakes? How do we facilitate learning? How do we engage classmates to help in these situations? Can we use class agreements like norms during these discussions to help students monitor each other?]]> 2016-10-29 13:44:13 UTC https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037102 group students with purpose -- making sure to have a student who like to talk in each group https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037134 2016-10-29 13:45:02 UTC https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037134 Know that you can't get 100% of the students engaged every class.  As long as every student is engaged with the content the majority of the time. https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037146 2016-10-29 13:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037146 Have the students work in small groups first and encourage them to speak and participate in those groups before answering questions in front of the whole class https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037147 2016-10-29 13:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037147 acoker25 https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037148 I think we need to show the students that it is ok to fail. Sometimes that may be even making a mistake in class and pausing and letting students know that you can be corrected. The may even include letting students know that it is ok to refresh their knowledge. ]]> 2016-10-29 13:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037148 https://padlet.com/DrakeGCPS/49eyj7a51mlh/wish/134037154 I've used a variety of activities that were all designed to teach the EQ for the day.
