Title: Facilitator's Choice - English Class:
Status: Open
URL: http://projects.twice.cc/?l=collaboration&id=252
Connections: H.323
Grades: 11, 12
Description: I have a teacher who wishes to allow their students to lead discussions once a week. The collaboration does not have to happen on a weekly basis, but she would definitely like to have more than one connection with the partner class.

This is a Grade 12 English class and one of the expectations and skills is to communicate ideas with a large group.
The format is student lead - student centered discussion of an issue of the facilitator's choice.
VC 1: introduction of classes, share background and goalsVC 2: Discussion 1 from host; Discussion 1 from partnerVC 3: Discussion 2 from host; Discussion 2 from partnerAnd do as many of these as works out for the two classes.
