My group liked the ideas presented on tape 2 about managing group
discussions. We shared other methods we have used to ensure that everyone
in the class gets an equal opportunity to talk. One member told how she
uses popsicle sticks to see who is dominating a group discussion. Every
time a student gives an answer or makes a comment, he takes a stick from the
pile in the middle. At the end, you have a concrete picture of which
students were contributing to or dominating the discussion. Another
suggestion was to get students to participate by telling why they agree with
someone else's answer if they couldn't come up with their own idea.
