Circle the Sage
Grouping of Students:
• Teams of 3-5
Materials Needed:
• Pencil/pen
• Paper (for taking notes)
Directions:
• Teacher polls the class to see who has special knowledge/experiences that would benefit the class.
• Those students are the “sages”. They stand and spread out in the room.
• The remaining students are placed in teams of 3-5.
• Each member of a team goes to a different sage (students will surround or “circle” the sages).
• No two members of the same team go to the same sage.
• The sage then shares his/her knowledge/experiences with the students that surround him/her.
• The students ask questions, listen, and take notes.
• After a designated period of time, students return to their teams.
• Each student shares what he/she learned from the sage with the team.
• The team members compare notes.
• If there is a disagreement within a group, that team will stand.
• Disagreements are discussed with the class and resolved.
