Give a voice to even the most quiet learners! Post discussion questions in different locations (on the whiteboard or around the room on posters). Class members then either answer a question posed or comment on a peer's response. Instead of having the entire class approach the board at the same time, send small groups while others work on a personal story that might relate to one of the statements given. Five questions/statements are suggested.
