- Title
Dialogic Multimodal Paired Presentations: Examining Perspective.
- Authors

- Abstract
As an alternative to debate, paired multimedia dialogic presentations ask students to adopt a learning stance with a classmate and to perform a conversation with visuals in a classroom. This composition assignment asks that students have a conversation to deepen understanding instead of having a debate that results in a winner and loser. Like a TED Talk or Pecha Kucha for two alternating speakers, Dialogic Multimodal Presentations develop students' skills in the areas of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication, and citizenship. This article discusses the reasons that ELA teachers may choose to offer an alternative to persuasive writing and debate by explicitly teaching conversing with others while using powerful images. A modifiable lesson plan is included that encourages teachers to prioritize process over product as students negotiate the ways to communicate with the goal of understanding another's viewpoint through questions, responses, and clarifying images.
