Small group purposeful talk - Think Pair Shares with thought/quote bubbles printed directly onto my notes. I use this format for two reasons - 1) my students are accountable to physically write something for both think and pair and 2) I’m accountable for actually giving the students the TPS! Sometimes if I’m feeling rushed, I’ll skip the TPS. But if I know it’s printed on their paper, I hold myself accountable to make sure that we spend the time on having a TPS.

triad protocol going great for working through tough texts.

You can assign different partners (like clock partners, seasons, etc.) to switch up who students partner up with. Provide a “viewing prompt” or sentence stem before showing a short video clip. The same can be done with a “reading prompt” before they read. Use sentnece stems to facilitate conversations and get students to speak using complete sentneces. Students can share their writing or inferences and receive feedback from peers. If the students are working together in groups, teachers can give a “teamwork award” for the group that works together the best!
