Group discussion followup

In our group discussion yesterday, many of the groups seemed to be in concurrence. Having the same opinion isn't a bad thing and might even be expected on some of the statements. It is good to be able to see the other side, and understanding different opinions can help one understand their own opinion. Read the statements below and the reactions from the groups. If the writing is mainly green, that means most groups agree, so blog a negative opinion. If the writing is red, that means most groups disagreed, so blog a positive opinion.

Group Discussion

Around the classroom are various statements. In your group, discuss the statements, you will have several minutes at each station. Post a short reply on the paper to each statement. The reply can be as a group, or if the group doesn't agree, they can be individual replies. Your group has 3 colour markers.

Green-Go-You are agreeing with the statement.

Red-Stop-You don't agree with the statement

Blue-Either/or-You don't really agree or disagree with the statement.
