[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD's AP teachers have used the "Socratic Method" by assigning 1/2 of the students to actually talk on a certain day and 1/2 to fill out a worksheet based on the discussion. The next day, they switch. I admire public school teachers' ingenuity.[/quote] This is a joke, right?[/quote] DP. I don’t think so. What this teacher describes is called fishbowl. I’ve seen it used in both well-regraded publics and privates. The worksheet has evaluation and reflection items.[/quote] PP. I'm not joking. It's worked out rather well. In a smaller classroom, half the room wouldn't have to stay quiet, but there is nothing wrong with taking turns.[/quote]
