Each post is a teaching strategy, all of which I have found and posted to my blog for my own reference.

The Talking Circle

The Talking Circle is a useful process to create a safe environment for the discussion of conflicts within the class or difficult situation or decisions students may face. Talking circles allow everyone to be heard, teach respect for everyone's point of view, and help build consensus as each student hears the views of others.

In the Classroom:

  • Talking about sensitive subjects or novels
  • Sharing ideas and opinions

ELA Curricular Outcomes:

  • Appreciate Diversity (5.2.3)
  • Compare Responses (5.2.1)
  • Use Language to Show Respect (5.1.3)
