Vote+with+Your+Feet

This is a strategy that allows all students to move and give an opinion without necessarily speaking.

Uses: anticipatory activity discussion starter forming opinions

Steps: 1st - prepare a set of questions or statements that arouse an opinion. 2nd - Explain to students that they are voting with their feet, not with their mouths. 3rd - present the first question/statement and ask students to rise and go to the side of the room that they agree with (yes/no, agree/disagree, etc). 4th - once there, students can find a partner to discuss why they choose that side (TPS). 5th - share whole class/stop to discuss. 6th - move on to next talking point.
