Synthesis Essay "Fishbowl" Activity

I would like to thank all of the students who participated "inside the fishbowl" and those students who sat patiently in the "outer" circle. I am "eagerly" looking forward to reading your observation sheets for this activity when you turn it in with the completed Synthesis Essay on Monday, 28 March (ALL BANDS-A-B-AND D).

Upon reflection, I should have intervened to redirect some students when they tended to dominate and not permit others to have their turn. Apparently, some students felt as though they were "on center-stage" and behaved accordingly. Also, please be advised that everyone who sat in the outer-circle will have his/her turn to sit "inside the fishbowl."
