Learn strategies for creating lively and fruitful conversations that help students enjoy class time, build critical thinking skills, and understand the fundamental questions of the course. We will identify the thinking and argumentation skills your students should be practicing, learn common questions and prompts that address these skills, review a grab-bag of discussion activities (ice-breakers, fishbowl, “think, pair, share”, consensus, brainstorm, etc.), and discuss strategies for addressing common problems that often arise in class discussions.
