I like the concentric circles because it gives students a chance to move. Students discuss things with several students without the worry or time it takes to find a new person. They will be exposed to a variety of responses in a short time.

I like the motion for "I agree". I also like the way the students are asked to repeat/reword what another student has said.

Alternative to Think-pair-share:  I love the Sticky Note Storm idea.  You couldn't use it all the time because of using so many sticky notes but every once in a while would be fun!  I could see posing a question such as "write as many fractions that are equivalent to 1/2 as you can".  They write one fraction on each sticky note and see if they can cover their desk with sticky notes.  They would love this!

Collaborative pairs allows children to share ideas and learn from their peers.

I am interested in trying Talk moves with collaborative pairs. I do it with my number talks whole group and love it.  I even have hand motions to show when they are ready with their answer, if they agree, and if they have another way to solve the problem.  I like the idea of having the starters posted so kids will have a starting place for their talk.

I will use "Affinity Mapping" in my discussions with students to help them create and make generalizations regarding text.

We read "The Big List of Class Discussion Strategies" and were intrigued by the PHILOSOPHICAL CHAIRS discussion strategy.  I like how this gets them up and moving.  Also, my students love to debate and this strategy lends itself to this.

Collaborative pairs is an effective strategy when you pair best practices with it.  It is critical to plan ahead and utilize monitoring techniques to ensure understanding and on task behaviors.

Giving students think time to process before they answer and for students listening to process what their partner has shared.

Giving each student time to Think before writing and or sharing is important during collaborative pairs.

Even though talk moves focuses on eighth grade students this lesson is important for all life long learners. It is important for us to teach ourselves how to tune in to others as they are speaking so that we communicate and add thoughts to discussion.

I read the "In praise of Think Pair Share" article. It was great to know that a lot of what I'm doing is correct. It was great to get a reminder of the listening part. So often we tune out to do something else. I love listening to their little conversations.

I will try using think moves.

The 10 Fun Alternatives for Think-Pair-Share had some great ways to practice reviewing for tests.  It provided some great examples to get kids moving while also learning.  It also had some great examples to use in small groups.

I really like the sticky note idea from, https://www.weareteachers.com/5-fun-alternatives-to-think-pair-share/, however I'm wondering if there's a way to save stickys? Having students write down each idea they have on sticky notes would waste a lot. I want to try this but with having them record their ideas on just one sticky note and then collaborate with the people at their table groups.

Mingle,pair,share is kind of like musical chair partners. It gives students the opportunity to talk and discuss with other classmates they usually wouldn't get paired with or even talk with.

Collaborative pairs are especially helpful to students with learning difficulties because it helps break the content into bite-sized pieces to hep their brains process the information. It's active and memorable. Explain the purpose to students.

Sage and Scribe seems to be a very productive alternative to think pair share. It allows one student to verbalize a concept without having to utilize written expression.

# data[].attributes.body
Children need to know it's okay to add on to the ideas of others or ask others to explain their thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the different alternatives to think-pair-share. I think the mingle pair share would be great in order to have students talk to classmates they may not normally work with. The sage and scribe would keep students engaged because they really have to think about what they are saying and listen to their partner.

I liked the idea of giving a silent signal for the kids when they agree with an answer/what another student has said.

After watching the video on Talk Moves, I would be interested in trying this strategy in collaborative pairs because it gives students a starting point when conversing with their partner. It giving them the chance to express a connection they had, something they agreed/disagreed with and then explaining their thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I love the use of movement in the classroom. The engagement that comes from "whole brain" strategies is something I have been working to add more movements. I plan on adding the silent signal for "I agree". This will prevent all 20 "I was gonna say that"s and give each student a way to feel they are contributing.

I will give my students time to think for themselves and problem-solve before turning to talk. I also think it was interesting how the teacher I watched gave the option for the students to continue with their think time alone if they wanted before working with a partner to share their ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the idea of coming up with a talk move signal for students to share that they are thinking the same thing as someone else. Not only is this encouraging to the students who is sharing but it also allows students to share opinions without speaking to keep the learning environment.

Give the children time to think on their own before they turn and talk.

I want to teach my students appropriate ways to respond to one another. The video talks about talk moves and different ways to add to a discussion or have there own opinion! If we start this convo in kinder it could improve with time.
