In the Classroom
In the classroom, you can engage students in critical thinking by using episodes as a starting point for debates, encouraging them to form teams and defend their positions using facts and persuasive arguments. Enhance learning by integrating tech tools like Padlet, reviewed here for students to post arguments and gather feedback. Extend learning beyond the classroom by assigning episodes as homework and encouraging students to discuss the debates with their caregivers, friends, and community. Students can present their debates at family gatherings or community events, fostering a broader dialogue and involving others in their learning process.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
