I found the readings to be very informative with the creation of a discussion session. I have facilitated class discussions but not all of the sessions were efficiently and effective done to my satisfaction. Based on the readings, “a discussion is where people talk about a serious topic with the intention of improving their knowledge, understanding or judgment.” In order for the discussion to be effective listening and talking must take place. Individuals should feel free to express themselves and everyone should have an open mind to the discussion. The conversation should be presented in a respectful manner. The teacher can be a facilitator and mediator when assisting a discussion. The teacher is needed to ensure that the students stay focus on the assigned task.
