 * Reflections:** || Please share what went well, what was challenging and what you might tweak or modify for your next round..I think this is a great idea as communication is key for all future learning. I can see first graders recording what they have learned on an ipad and letting other students listen and add comments. Another thing that I think would work well is the Fishbowl strategy, one group sits in a circle on the floor modeling communication with one another aloud while the rest of the class sit around them and observes their open communication. This will help them gain confidence in stating their ideas and communicating openly. ||
