I’m not a participant, I participate! « In dubio

Terrific implications for "teaching".  For example, if I am teaching how to summarize how can I get them to tell me about summarizing?  Gget them to do it in class then draw inferences from what they have learned, have them research it, ask them to do it for unlikely objects then draw inferences. And how can get them to provide feedback on what they do?  Do paired work, small group work, and large group work on how well a text has been summarized from the point of view of the audience-reader.  Might start with a roughly annotated article and get them to read the original article. At that point they can judge what needs to be left out, changed, or put in.
