Your classroom is diverse.
1.Student A: Share one short idea or answer.
2. Student B: listen without interrupting.
3.Student B: Share one short idea or answer.
4.Student A: listen without interrupting.
5.Keep going till time runs out!
“Sharing our ideas”
Ear
Heart
Eyes
Focussed Attention
I’m listening
carefully…
I’m waiting to get my point across – I have no idea what
he’s saying…
Look interested, get interested.
Involve yourself by responding
Stay on target
Test your understanding
Evaluate what you hear
Neutralize your feelings.
“Show respect to other people’s beliefs
and values”
What does that look like?
What does that feel like?
DialogueDebate
1 winner, 1 loser.
I marshal evidence to support my
point of view, and defeat you by the
power of my argument.
2 Winners
I learn from what you have to say, you learn from I have to say. We both learn, but may agree to
differ.
is different
from
1. 1 Person stands and is interviewed by the others
for 1 minute.
2. Interviewers must use open ended questions.
3. When time is up interviewers thank interviewee.
4. Next student stands – repeat until every has done.
“We’re all interviewees”
Response Question is
Better because…• You have to listen carefully.• Questions respond to what is being said. • Dialogue flows – it is not “stop and start”. • Dialogue can grow.
Remember Diversity
Intra-faith dialogue.
Many traditions within one faith
Use “I” statement
s
Helps to stop generalising
Reduces misunderstanding
No value judgements
The difference between:
I do this & it is important
I do this, and you should too...
Don’t fear silence
Students may need think time.
Use a structure to help them.
Dialogue ≠ Debate
Not “I beat you” but
We learn from each other.
