"Seeded Discussion is an activity that provides students a structured format for discussion. The activity is centered on the provision of a set of questions students answer as a guide to a class discussion. Formal questions allow for an organized dialogue that ensures key topics are covered during conversations. Additionally, this activity allows for easy assessment of student progress toward course learning outcomes.Fundamentally, this activity serves to prime students for discussing a class topic. It is helpful in aiding student discussions centered on complex readings or difficult theoretical content covered in lectures, as well as comparing and contrasting topics across the course material and throughout the curriculum." — Teaching for Learning, Major CH, Harris MS, Zakrajsek T, 2016
