Continuum Dialogue

The Continuum Dialogue is a provocative yet non-threatening way to get to know students’ perspectives, beliefs, and opinions on current events, as well as potentially controversial issues. A Continuum exercise provides an opportunity for students to articulate their own ideas, revise their thinking throughout the process, and hear their classmates' viewpoints with respect and interest. (The Continuum Diagloue is similar to the Four Corners Discussion activity.)
