EDUCATIONAL USE

IN THE CLASSROOM

Discussion Webs are a great way to engage students in meaningful

conversation and spark critical thinking at the same time. Included: Tons

of ideas for active discussions across the curriculum and across the

grades!

It's time to dust the cobwebs off your old discussion routines and

introduce your students to -- Discussion Webs!

Discussion Webs are "a special kind of graphic aid for teaching students

to look at both sides of an issue before drawing a conclusion." They help

students to organize their thinking, examine (and learn tolerance for)

other points of view, and draw richer understanding from the materials

they read.

But Discussion Webs aren't just for reading. Creative teachers use

discussion webs across the curriculum.

And Discussion Webs aren't just for use in middle schools and high

schools. Kindergarten and first-grade teachers are using them too!

Students draw on information from the texts, from previous classroom discussions, and from their own experiences as they think about this yes-no question and discuss it with a partner.

The partners must come up with evidence that supports a "yes" position and also a "no" position. Opinions are fine as long as they are supported by information from the text or by personal experience. (See illustration below.)

Then the partners are paired with another set of partners to form a discussion group. The members of the group share their responses. Together, they reach a consensus on a pro or con point of view. Then students have the opportunity to share their point of view with the entire class.

As a follow-up, students might be asked to debate the question or to support and write their individual opinions.

USING DISCUSSION WEBS TO TEACH DIFFICULT CONCEPTS

Discussion Webs can be used to teach difficult-to-understand concepts --

concepts that often contradict students' experiences and ideas, says

Swafford. For example, a Discussion Web could be created that has at

its center the question (concept) "Why Do the Seasons Change?"

"In the column on one side of the question, students record what they

think before they engage in reading and other classroom experiences,"

Swafford explains. "As students gather information about why seasons

change from other sources, they list that information in the second

column."

"Throughout their study of the seasons, students have the opportunity to

discuss the information they add to their Web," continues Swafford. "If

the information they've learned contradicts their original ideas about why

the seasons change, that cognitive dissonance will hopefully help them

to modify or change their ideas to more closely match the scientific

explanation."

"A study done in the early 90s by Guzzetti found Discussion Webs to be

one of the most beneficial strategies for promoting conceptual change,"

adds Swafford.
