Are you dismayed by the lack of discussion and questioning in your classroom? Good two-way communication can be difficult. Classroom Communication explains how effective strategies can get students out of the "tell me, show me" attitude and into lively participation.
This book offers ideas on how to start and facilitate discussion, utilize group dynamics, and in-corporate discussion participation into grading. Each section ends with questions and suggestions for individual reflection, moving concepts from the page into the classroom. (From the Publisher)
