Conver-stations

Conver-stations

  1. Place discussion prompts or questions at various locations around the room.
  2. Assign small teams of students to each prompt.
  3. In small teams, the students will discuss the prompt / question.
  4. Once the question has been discussed, have each team select two members to move to another "conver-station."
  5. Provide time for the team members who stayed to provide the new team members with a brief overview of the conversation.
  6. Allow time for the conversations at each station to take place.
  7. After 2 - 3 minutes, ask two members of the new team to rotate to another "conver-station."
  8. Continue for several rounds or until all conver-stations have been visited.
    • You may have the students record notes from their conversations.
    • It might be helpful to provide time limits for each of the conversations.
