Explanation
Considerations
Activity requires
participation from all the
students and a nonjudgmental environment.
Requires time enough for
the question to be
unpacked and ideas to be
shared. Involves teacher
leadership skills to guide
learning from ideas
students share.
May require a facilitator
to get conversation
started. Some students
may feel pressured to
answer. Some students
may criticize another
student in their
comments, thus a
facilitator is necessary to
ensure the circle remains
a safe sharing space.
A great sharing tool but
creation process may be
time consuming. The
creation process will
include active learning as
students discern which
information is applicable.
Allows for creativity to be
explored and knowledge
to be reflected upon.
Great learning tool and
device for students to
share ideas and reflect
upon their individual
thinking. Must remember
that the purpose is for
ideas to be expressed, so
writing should not be
edited for grammatical
errors. Students
thoughts are more
important than proper
grammar etc.

engage students visually
through unique
presentations of
information rather than
having teacher lecture
straight to students.
Ex) Slideshow, videos,
pod casts etc.
