Lori,
Perhaps I wasn't clear. I help them negotiate the rules for conversation.
They are making the rules, I'm asking them "what if . . . ?" Once the rules are
established, they pretty much talk with each other, especially during and after
lit. circles. There are times when I have to give directions, answer questions,
etc.
Most of the time when I am getting involved it is to guide someone who has
gone astray. For example, if a kid is off topic and the others can't get them
back. if a kid says something out of line, if a kid wants to reveal something
that should not be aired in class without negotiation (death, abuse of any
kind, neglect, cirmes).
