Extension Idea: Revisiting or Building Discussion Norms

​

• Face-to-Face Norms: Invite students to review/revisit existing classroom discussion norms and nominate any additional norms to support productive face-to-face conversations.

• Online Norms: Now invite students to consider dialogue norms for the online context. Which classroom/face-to-face norms apply? Are additional norms needed to address the particular downsides or challenges of online spaces?

• You may wish to conclude this activity by drawing a Venn diagram that highlights the dialogue norms that overlap versus the ones that are distinct to the offline or online context.
