join the discussion. What is the author’s thinking? What are
the underlying assumptions? How do we know? How can we
weigh opinions against facts?]]> 2022-01-30 19:13:53 UTC https://padlet.com/amgreven/u1z9y5qrzzrj590i/wish/2020188448 Activity: Debate amgreven https://padlet.com/amgreven/u1z9y5qrzzrj590i/wish/2020189521 Four corners. This collaborative activity encourages students to consider different points of view by engaging them in dialogue with not only those who have the same opinion but those who have differing viewpoints. The classroom is labelled with four points of view ((e. g., Strongly Agree/Agree/Disagree/
Strongly Disagree). Students are asked a question and then
move to the corner that best reflects their opinion. Once there,
students provide a reason for their choice. A variation would
have students jot their reason onto the corner chart before
