Giving Students Discussion Feedback: Discussion Series Part 3 [S3 E74]

Listen to the full episode below:

If you haven’t listened to part one or two of our three-part Discussion Series, head back and listen to those when you get a chance! For this last episode in the series we’re doing something we’ve never done before. We’re going to be providing in-the-moment feedback to a pre-recorded discussion that one of Amanda’s past classes participated in. The topic of this conversation was culture and crossing lines when it comes to Halloween costumes.

The discussion was held with an AP Lang 11th grade class and since it was in the 2020 school year it was, of course, virtual. Prior to this discussion, Amanda’s students did some research and prepared to talk about this controversial topic. We speak about specific critiques we would give during the conversation and the purpose of those interjections. With the state of the world and virtual learning to be considered, these conversations are even more important now more than ever.
