What are the benefits? Development of student’s abilities to give careful attention to other students’ comments Discover your ‘voice’ and opinions about various matters/topics

 Classroom set-up

Process1.Statement is presented 2.Students move to either side of the room 3.Mediator recognizes someone from the side of the classroom that agrees with the central statement to begin the discussion 4.Next, the mediator will recognize the other side

Process In addition to speaking in the discussion, students may express their opinions by moving from one side to the other. Anyone can move at any time. Changing seats does not mean that a person’s mind is changed, but that the argument made is compelling enough to sway the opinions. You can move back and forth Final Statements/opinions

1. Be sure you understand the central statement or topic before the discussion begins. Decide which section you will sit in 2. Listen carefully when others speak and seek to understand their arguments even if you don’t agree 3. Wait for the mediator to recognize you before you speak; only one person speaks at a time

4. You must first summarize briefly the perivious speaker’s argument before you make your response. 5. If you have spoken for your side you must wait until three other people on your side speak before you speak again. 6. Be sure that when you speak, you address the ideas; not the person saying them 7. Keep an open mind and move to the other side if you feel that someone made a good argument or your opinion is swayed. 8. Support your mediator by maintaining order and helping the discussion to move forward.

Classroom Vote 1. Tobacco sales should be illegal to sell 2. Books should be banned year olds should be adults 4. Schools should use YouTube and Netflix as classroom tools
