Blow It Up! Facilitating Full Class Discussions Based on Sorting Task Controversy

Description

Have you ever led a sorting task only to have the class end with unresolved misconceptions? We will explain our method of making giant versions for the class to see, move, and debate. We will share strategies about how to keep the controversy flowing, equitably encourage students to participate, and provide access to language learners.
