Halfway through, we will have a "halftime". Coaches will then be asked to meet with their partner(s) and provide them with strengths and next steps. We will repeat this process at the conclusion of the discussion.

They will be the ones who speak and share their opinions and questions during the discussion. This image illustrates what the set up looks like...

Most discussions last about 20-30 minutes. Keep in mind we will need to have two discussions so that each person can participate in the discussion and be a coach.

They help students to improve their oral argument and listening skills while helping them to build knowledge about a particular topic.

Don't just put your learning tool on the board. Provide it when it's MOST helpful to others

I'm hoping Padlet will make our discussion that much better, but if it becomes a distraction we'll ditch it and find another way.
