PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Team Huddle Method!

Play some music and instruct students to move around the room. After a few seconds, turn off the music and say "Huddle" and then a number between 1 and 4.

For example, if you call out "Huddle 4" the students should huddle in groups of 4. Then call out a question and let the students discuss the possible answers.

FOUR CORNERS!

Designate a corner of your classroom as Strongly Agree, Somewhat Agree, Strongly Disagree and Somewhat Disagree.

Have students read a controversial article or a debatable statement that relates to your content area. Have students move to the corner that best matches their position.

Each corner should be given a few minutes to discuss and solidify their reasoning / logic for their stance. Each group selects a spokesperson to express their group's position.

The spokesperson has 30 seconds to express thoughts and to persuade their classmates. Other groups should listen intently. After the first group presents, students should be given the opportunity to move if they have changed their mind.

Debatable topic:

Schools should eliminate report cards.

The teacher should take note of the questions and use them for reteaching or planning a lesson and to adjust instruction accordingly.
