Annex A Slides that show vocabulary for PME to assist in discussion
In small groups, students are to address the real-life
scenarios of fellow Meridians. CTs to inform students of basic requirements for the discussion. EG: Appoint student facilitators. Emphasize respect for each other’s views Acknowledge everyone’s opinions.
CTs may wish to push the discussion towards students’
personal sharing OR sharing of their own advice for the characters in the scenarios. There is no need for the group to share their own responses to each scenario with the class; this is purely optional if time permits.
Some guiding questions for student facilitator to steer
the discussion: 1) What values do you admire in this student? 2) What values proved to be problematic? 3) What are their priorities? 4) Does their behaviour contradict their values? 5) Why do they (we) do the things they do? 6) Which characters do you sympathise with most in this scenario? Why?
