  2. What Is Reflective Discussion? • Reflective discussions encourage students to think and talk about what they have observed, heard, or read. • The teacher or students initiates the discussion by asking a question that requires students to reflect upon and interpret films, experiences, read or record stories, or illustrations. • The questions posed should encourage students to relate story content to life experiences and to other stories.

  3. What Is Its Purpose? • To use questions to stimulate reflection and extend comprehension • To challenge students’ thinking by inviting them to interpret, infer, summarize, form conclusions and evaluate selections • To extend personal responses by considering the views of others • To share personal thoughts, feelings and images evoked in literature selections, films, illustrations and experiences

  4. How Do I Do It? • Pose a question to initiate discussion. • This question should be an inferential or open-ended question to which there is no single correct answer. • This question should require students to make an inference, assumption, or to interpret what they have observed, heard, or read. • Discussions should encourage students to relate events and characters to other selections and to life experiences.
