Sharing Our Learning Stories

Students introduce themselves to the partner class and reflect on whether they usually cram or learn concepts. They share a quick example to set the tone for the discussion.

Students write about a time they crammed for a test and a time they truly understood a concept, noting what helped. They then plan open-ended questions to ask peers and the partner class about their learning habits.

Students hold a video discussion with the partner class, taking turns sharing their stories and asking open-ended questions. They practice active listening and note how learning strategies differ across cultures and contexts.

Mixed teams review the discussion notes, compare cramming and conceptual learning across both classes, and identify strategies that work well. They discuss what might explain the differences and propose one shared learning tip.

Teams present their findings and shared learning tips to both classes, then reflect on how listening to peers changed their view of learning. The teacher closes with feedback on collaboration and emotional awareness.
