Interversity Quotes"I think it's time to ask the Standardistos: Where's the test for compassion? For honesty? For curiosity? For moral commitment? Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

Ohhhhh, I am so interested in hearing suggestions on this as well. My kids can't do this worth a flip this year. Their other problem is sustained class discussions--they all want to outshout each other rather than take turns building ideas from one another. It's making me crazy, and I'd love to hear ideas.

I am having trouble with my 7th graders working together. When I ask them to try to solve a question or discuss something, they are immediately off task. My team teachers agree with me that our kids don't seem to know "how" to work together. I want to do some specific lessons with my kids about working together, but can't find anything online and ideas are not coming to me. suggestions? Thanks,
