Learning Through Discussion

A key factor in learning in our classroom is being able to express your thoughts, ideas and answers both verbally and in written form.  In many of our reading units, learning comes from each other in the form of discussions.  As we discuss, students learn to hear other points of view, debate them respectfully, share thoughts, change opinions and answers, and just generally being able to discuss literature to educate.  This morning, students participated in a guided discussion group where we shared our thoughts to various questions.
