Preparing for participation in and observation of fishbowl discussions:
- In a fishbowl discussion, half of the class will observe while the other half of the class engages in an intellectual discussion of the topic. This is NOT a debate! The purpose of this activity is to encage in and observe rational, civil discourse.
- If you are OBSERVING the discussion, read the provided summary and, if necessary, do a little research so you'll understand the topic. Your task is to listen to and take notes on the discussion. At the end of the discourse, you will have the opportunity to ask questions and reflect on the topic.
- If you are PARTICIPATING in the discussion, read the provided summary AND the provided article. You may also need to research the topic further to prepare for the discussion. Then, complete the preparation section of your fishbowl worksheet. As a group, you will need to sustain a respectful, intellectual discussion for 15 minutes.
- If you are MODERATING the discussion, read the summary and the articles. Create discussion questions that will help to sustain the discussion. During the discourse, you will be responsible for ensuring civil discourse.
