Whole Class Participation

I wanted to help you get a better idea of what I expect from you during class discussion. Being able to articulate your ideas in public and navigate an evolving discussion is an extremely important life skill. In college and in the workplace, you will be required to talk, collaborate, tell stories, present, etc.

So, here are the characteristics I expect you to exhibit during class discussion:

• Freely participated
• Supported Opinions
• Made significant contributions
• Stayed on task
• Cooperated with peers
• Modified thinking when appropriate
• shared personal experiences, opinions
• showed confidence in own judgement
• encouraged others to participate (appropriately)
• displayed tolerance for differing opinions
