Discussion Process and Principles brings discussion to the classroom in a new way. It is not only about what to discuss -the topic-, but how to discuss -the approach-. Different topics require different approaches. A carpenter with only a hammer in the toolbox approaches every task the same way. In a similar way, students with only one discussion strategy, approach every discussion the same way. Discussion Process and Principles identifies several different approaches to discussion, each having its own language and discussion principle. Every unit features both a new topic and a new approach.
