Gauge student interest in a topic by asking students to describe three takeaways, two questions they have, and one aspect they most enjoyed.
This discussion strategy uses writing and silence as tools to help students explore a topic in-depth. Having a written conversation with peers slows down students’ thinking process and gives them an opportunity to focus on the views of others. This strategy also creates a visual record of students’ thoughts and questions that can be referred to later in a course.
