Parliament
Parliament is something I made up on the spot this week (no doubt someone else already has a better word for this activity). I realized that my class had jumped ahead of the other slot, so I gave them three options for class and they chose parliament, largely due to its snazzy name.
Parliament was ultimately just a three-sided debate on a few lofty subjects.
What was odd though was that even after it ended, the class continued debating and calling for permission to speak.
I don’t think I can go back to just a “class discussion” again.
