That said, more often than not, in first couple months of teaching this class, student&#8217;s were not listening to each other to the level I set for them. The video below shows a typical conversation (here a Socratic seminar) from November\/December. You can see that students had more surface-level ideas, and they often talked over one another.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"920\" height=\"518\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7FskTRsxdsI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Over time, I adjusted my practice to give students more low-stakes opportunities to express themselves academically and creatively (such as journal entries and reflections). Students then could share their work in a higher-stakes setting. For instance, two months later during my second round of the year, I was able to successfully facilitate a &#8220;Hot Seat&#8221; dialogue where students took on the roles of characters in the novel\u00a0<em>You Don&#8217;t Know Me<\/em>. They demonstrated deeper thinking and more respectful behavior.
