5. Teach civility and set expectations & norms of respect early. Presenting & discussing hot topics like race, gender & foreign relations on a weekly basis creates a safe environment where it is okay for students to take risks, share opinions, & learn to disagree respectfully.
4. Teach different perspectives & encourage students to ask perceptive and penetrating questions about important changes in the world. Play the devil's advocate to challenge students to better understand their opinions and news sources.
3. Start early, practice often. This includes topics outside of politics & election news. Try out a variety of topics to get students used to analyzing information.
2. Configure the classroom for student-led discussions. Have student leaders facilitate the discussion & call on other students to speak. Set the rules that all students are expected to participate at least 1x by asking a question, commenting on the topic, or sharing an opinion.
