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 poems like a professor, but you’ll gain a glimpse of our Connect Four edition.
The featured texts are as follows:
Brushing Teeth With My Sister After the Wake — Jim Daniels
Talking Among Ourselves — Charlie Smith
In a Dream My Dead Tio Tells Me He’s Happy — V. Ruiz
The kicker — watch how this discussion modality also simultaneously prepares your students to be better multiple-choice test takers.
