  8. “Discussion is an important tool of learning. It engages students, broadens their perspectives, and promotes meaning-making, decision-making, and higher-level thinking.

But true discussion is purposeful interchange of ideas through which meaning has the possibility of being revised and extended.” --from Classroom Discussion by Dixie Spiegel (2005)
