It is important to spend time modeling how to participate in debrief circles because if students don’t know what a debrief circle is or what they must do they will not be able to participate and learn from the process she also modeled it because in the beginning of the year the students were not really talking and she had to walk around to try to get the conversations going. Students learn a lot when reflecting from their peers. They learn new ways to solve problems and they also learn what they did wrong or help another student understand the process. Ms. Ekmalian structures the questions she asks her students by first asking what they would have changed in there batter then goes on to ask what they noticed and also asked what their wonders were and finally asked about the relationship between the two quantities. I think she asked these questions to hold the students accountable and to really focus.
