Ask each pair to join another pair. A discuss the topic, explaining and defending their respective positions and inquiring about each other's reasoning. Pair B observes and provides feedback on strategies used for dealing effectively with divergent views. When students research and report on cultural heritage and Aboriginal and immigrant experiences, ensure that they are aware of the learning outcomes they are expected to demonstrate. After students have discussed divergent ideas and opinions with partners, and observed and offered feedback to other pairs, have each group of four present a brief report to the class about the strategies they used and observed.
Students can also write brief self-assessments.
