Rules for Discussion should be included in your distributed Classroom Guidelines as well as posted in your classroom for easy reference. Use a nice size poster board so the rules are visible from a distance. Have students volunteer to read the rules aloud just before you conduct a classroom discussion
"Classroom Rules for Discussion"
1. Everyone has the right to speak and to be listened to politely.
2. Raise your hand and wait patiently. Take notes.
3. Listen while others speak. Take notes.
4. When sharing an opinion, use phrases such as "I feel..." or "In my opinion..." or "It seems to me..."
5. All opinions are to be respected. Any opinion can be respectfully challenged...
6. Express yourself using a civil tone of voice. Please, no shouting, spitting, or pulling hair.
