Response Question 1: define the discussion method and its components--be concrete and specific, as if giving a recipe for the method

• talk about how this method engages students--in other words, what is happening during the discussion process that activates the learning experience in each student?

Response Question 2: How can you engage higher order thinking through this method? Try to think of this scientifically, as a professional educator, as you explain.

• give one concrete example of how you can use this specific method to teach content within your class; what you expect the process to look like; and how you will determine whether students learned the concepts you hoped they would.

Your post should be at least 3-4 paragraphs, and should provide one clear, concrete example of how you will use a discussion method in your class.

Putting students together to learn has some benefits that can't be found in a lecture situation. However, it also puts responsibility for learning more heavily on students, and the instructor must be willing to relinquish some control over the classroom and the content.

Response Question 1: How do you feel about using small groups? Give some specific ideas about pros and cons of small group learning, from your perspective. To make the discussion more personal and hopefully more usable, focus your comments on the use of small groups within the class you are currently teaching.

Response Question 2: How might you use small group activities in your class? What challenges might this present? What benefits might there be, compared to other methods of learning?
