摘要:Many college students fall into the habit of coming to class unprepared, without having readassigned texts, or having read partially and superficially. As a consequence, they may take a passivestance, discussion can fall flat, and learning can be diminished. This article describes aninstructional strategy for engaging students as active learners in preparing for class discussion and inthe discussion itself. Using a modification of the literature circle model originated by Daniels (2002)and adapted for college learners by Larson, Young, & Leipham (2011a), the author describes aprocedure in which students read, use organizing templates to write about their reading, and thendraw on that writing for small-group and finally whole-class discussion. Grounded in research onactive learning, reading compliance, and reading and writing to learn, the strategy presented here is away to achieve higher quality discussion, and therefore deeper learning.
