PART TWO - DAY 1: MORE THAN ONE WAY TO PLAY

(30 MINUTES)

Discussion:

Connect, Extend, Challenge

• Briefly explain the routine.

• Give people three minutes of silence to read over the questions and jot down some thoughts.

• Introduce each question in sequence. For each question, invite people to share one connection, extension, or challenge. You can do this in a round or open discussion; keep track of time so you can get to the last question.

• How are the ideas and information connected to what you already knew?

• What new ideas did you get that extend your thinking in new directions?

• What challenges, puzzles, or questions emerge for you?

• Leave time for those who haven’t spoken to contribute.

• Reserve two minutes at the end to ask participants how the routine worked for them: What’s one thing that worked well? What could be changed?

(5 MINUTES)

Closing:

• Thank the group for their participation.

• Choose one of the following options:

• Invite participants to share one word, big idea, feeling, or emoji they are leaving with on a post-it note (or in the chat, if you’re online).

• Invite participants to respond to the following sentence prompts on a post-it note (or jamboard or padlet, if you’re online):

If you have more than eight people, consider breaking into smaller discussion groups of 3-4 people, so everyone has a chance to participate.

“At our school, I wish we could ___”

“At our school, I’m glad we ______”
