We felt that 10 minutes spent talking about spinach was too much for students and encouraged students to disengage. Think about discussing WHILE doing the activity. Set students up for success by setting an expectation for answering questions (ie: Lets keep our answers to one minute so everyone who wants to can share.) Invite the students who were whispering to share with the class, redirecting from student who was doing a lot of talking. Make sure prompts and objectives are clear! Can use sensory input like videos or music to increase engagement.

Please bring real spinach!-all senses - taste, smell, etc the spinach-think-pair-share-be in touch with time and experiences of the kiddos-Step up/step back (or step up step up)- yall do you usually step up? take this time to step back and practice active listening. do you tend to step back? we want to hear from you! If you step up/step up- all step up to a NEW role! not one you usually take.-differentiation-take cues from the kid who said "when can we start cooking?" - more than that one kid is feeling bored if one kid mentions it--go back to the kids who were talking and ask them to take their turn and be interested and engaged in what they say-KWL- know, want to know, learn about something new --start with something practical or relevant to the kiddos-start with an activity first and then talk about it-have a routine/centering activity

The initial plan was good, but execution could have been more intentional. The visual and 'one mic' rule were helpful.

Maybe could do a Turn & Talk for a minute so all students have a chance to speak, then call on a few to share out. Also, keep the intro shorter and involve kids in the learning, possibly by having actual spinach for kids to touch, smell, taste, observe. Guess it depends on what they want to teach about it.

Ask the whispering students to share what they are discussing.
