Spider webs and Halloween go together. But Discussion Webs aren't just for reading.
Creative teachers use discussion webs across the curriculum.
And Discussion Webs aren't just for use in middle schools and high schools. Using this approach, students are asked to respond to a yes-no thinking question. Students think individually about the question that's up for discussion. They look in the text for information they might use to support their opinions. The partners share supporting ideas from the text and from their own experiences.
