Hi

I always like using a version of Haida talking stick

Basically each student get a fixed period of time - probably in this case 1 minute - the first student gets to share their thought uninterrupted (no cross-talk) - then move to next student - next student - etc

Until everyone has had an uninterrupted share - then the group conversation begins with cross-talk allowed

    Hi all -
    
    I'm currently teaching a 7-person class with a single team. I am finding 
    that one of the students talks almost non-stop during the team 
    activities, and that 3-4 of the remaining students say almost nothing 
    because the talkative student doesn't give them much of a chance. The 
    talkative student is very knowledgeable and is usually saying something 
    useful and on the right track, but I am worried that the other students 
    will disengage and get frustrated.
    
    I always have my teams complete an ungraded midterm peer evaluation to 
    provide constructive feedback to their teammates on their 
    behavior/performance, and the midterm comments always include some 
    combination of encouraging the talkative students to give quieter 
    students more chance to talk, and encouraging the quieter students to 
    talk more. As a result, I have found that the students tend to balance 
    out the over/under talkativeness issues on their own via the midterm 
    peer evaluation comments, if not sooner.
    
    But in this case, my talkative student is SO talkative that I'm not sure 
    I should wait another 3-4 classes for the midterm evaluation to start 
    the process of balancing the team out and I wonder if I should intervene 
    in some way to help out.
    
    What do you all think? Do you think I should intervene (and if so, 
    how?), or should I leave it up to the students to find a better balance 
    on their own?
    
    Thanks,
    Mark
