 * educators leading classroom discussion
 * allow repetition of linguistic terms and thinking processes
 * allows students to look at other peoples' thought

 * give nudges to push in right direction
 * T-chart - guns/education
 * Negative connotations with guns
 * different associations
 * students from different backgrounds - diiiiiiversity
 * Pros and cons
 * more students thought of cons for having administrators in classrooms obtaining guns
 * accidents, fear, safety, students thinking guns are OK, training, accessibility
 * pro - stopping shooting, deter future threats
 * everyone has different backgrounds and experiences
 * participation in discussion can be unknown - dominance
 * authentic and students are still engaged
 * take home - MUST STRUCTURE academic instruction
