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 and lesson, you’ll not only see how my students are trained to read poems like a professor, but you’ll gain a glimpse of our Jenga edition.
The featured texts are as follows: This Is Why People Burning Down Fast Food Joints & Whatnot — Jacqueline Allen Trimble
A Woman Cohabitates with Three Men — Jacqueline Allen Trimble
The Difference Between Pepsi & Coke — David Lehman
The kicker — watch how this discussion modality also simultaneously prepares your students to be better multiple-choice test takers.
