Description
If you’re anything like me, you might find our traditional discussion modalities of the Socratic Seminar, Harkness Discussion, and Fishbowl to be lacking.
As such, I created what I call Plato’s Play-Doh Discussion – a modality that finds students asking the real good, pithy questions of a text in a gamified format that highlights the elements of collaboration and competition.
In this video, you’ll not only see how my students are trained to read passages like a professor, but you’ll gain a glimpse of our Connect Four edition.
The featured texts are as follows:
Bill Clinton’s “I Have Sinned” Speech
Baz Luhrmann’s “Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen”
Jeremy’s Letter to Santa
The kicker — watch how this discussion modality also simultaneously prepares your students to be better multiple-choice test takers.
