Reflection:
The circle of knowledge requires a high levels of participation and encourages a collaborative environment. Students have preparation time to gather their evidence, therefore the statements have a high degree of focus. My goal is to have high level of thinking in student responses that go beyond the dates and names of westward expansion, but rather connect to their backgrounds and present day life.
Prep:
Copies of focus questions
Handout of rules and norms for discussion (circle of knowledge format)
