Question

Rowena is terribly nervous about a class discussion scheduled for the next day. she would rather not participate, but her teacher has made it clear that he is expecting every student to make a meaningful contribution to the discussion. what is the best way for rowena to be a good participant?

Answer 1

Answer:

If Rowena is nervous about the class discussion, regardless of whether she is a confident orator or a shy student, even critically shy (unfortunately most teachers tend to disregard these very important peculiarities of each student), the best thing she could do is to prepare for the class discussion by reading materials on the topic to be covered, taking notes, bringing notes to the discussion, prepare arguments and even prepare hypothetical or possible counterarguments to her arguments.

Answer 2

If Rowena is nervous about the class discussion, the reason may be likely she is afraid to express her thoughts in regards of the discussion that is being held. In order for her to make a contribution to the discussion, she should at least pay attention and listen to the speaker in means of having to understand the discussion and a way of participating in the discussion without being more actively participating.
