That works OK, but takes more time in the recording since we discuss as we go from group to group.</p> George, this is great — more specific and more visual than what I’ve typically done for similar questions — students tell me what they come up with (often, in pairs/groups for more collaboration/discussion) and I write on the board in different color markers.

As I wrote yesterday, I believe there’s great value in having students show their work-in-progress to each other.

I wonder if an online resource (a la <a href="http://www.wallwisher.com" rel="nofollow">Wallwisher</a>) might serve a similar function in the "greener" way that you mentioned. However, I do think that there is something to the public performance aspect of having to select a sticky note, write something on it, and then place it on the board with the expectation that you'll have to follow up and justify your comments.</p> <p>I think this type of lesson structure will also work really nicely in the secondary school classroom. Thanks again for sharing this idea.</p> Thanks for this clear, concise description of how to structure a class format in a way that helps students understand argumentation and puts their contributions at the center of the classroom.

I think this type of lesson structure will also work really nicely in the secondary school classroom. Thanks again for sharing this idea.
