Some examples of dialogue topics that are suitable for the first dialogue and that lend themselves to the initial engagement of all students are • suggestions of something the teacher can do within the first or last five minutes of the next class to either open or close the lesson; • identification of a good/positive practice that the teacher enacts in the classroom that he/she can do more often; and • identification of a practice all students in the cogen group can collectively do (including the teacher) to engage the students in the next class.
