Hi Chris,

Hi Chris,

Thank you! There are a few things that will help:

a) Give them a chance to write down ideas before they have to talk.
b) Have groups do a quick social-emotional exercise before the academic work starts: "Name your most often selected item of clothing and explain why it's your go-to garment."
c) Direct students to use concrete turn-taking strategies (so that introverts don't have to barge into a discussion to make themselves heard)
d) Tell students you are looking for examples of participants inviting others into the conversation.

Hope that helps! -tf
