Sarah-Graham Turtletaub: Timed-Pair Share, Rally Robin, Round Robin

In my history lessons, I've started to break the teaching every 10-15 minutes to use a structure, mainly the three listed above. It's been helpful for giving students time to process and mentally reengage as I teach.

# data[].attributes.body
Quiz-Quiz-Trade was used to review for a History test.

The kids requested this structure again on the next test.

I "Latinized" & "Greekified"

the Kagan Mats.

We used Timed Pair Share to allow students to evaluate each others sketchbook assignment. Not completely a disaster, but close. The boys did not want to talk to the girls at all, and most students were uncomfortable critiquing each others work, even though the exercise was couched in terms of "helping" each other. (Students were given a rubric specifically designed for the exercise.) We failed to consider those who came to class without their assignment, which made it impossible for them to participate.

I used Takeoff-Touchdown when

practicing identifying the declension

of Latin nouns.

I used Round Robin with my 5th graders

to summarize events and check comprehension

in a story we read.

To introduce our CSI unit, I usually have a teacher-led class discussion of shows kids have watched and what kinds of things they already know about crime-solving (activating prior learning). This time, I did Mix-Pair-Share. I played the CSI theme song and had them mingle, then Rally Robin foods they ate during Thanksgiving, crime solving shows, and things not to do during a crime scene investigation. I ended with them back in their dissecting groups and I had them Write Round Robin (I think it's called) to record what they would do to investigate the crime scenes the next day. I had groups stand while I called on them and they gave answers that I vetted as they wrote answers from the other groups below a horizontal line. As groups finished they sat down.

I used Rally Coach in Latin to help kids

identify direct objects vs. subjects in

translating Latin to English stories.

# data[].attributes.body
Take off/Touch Down for

just about everything from

grammar, punctuation, weekend

activities, understand or not,

which type of sentence is it...

# data[].attributes.body
Round Robin for a group worksheet

to make sure one student didn't do all

the work while the rest copied... they

had to take turns answering and weren't

allowed to talk until it was their

turn again.

# data[].attributes.body
Mix Pair Share for students to mingle and

then share stories with random partners instead

of taking the time for everyone to share aloud to the class.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Quiz, Quiz, Trade (presented

in Kagan Day 2) to review for a

math test.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Rally Coach to complete

a sheet on Prepositions and Prepositional Phrases.

# data[].attributes.body
I used the AllWrite Round Robin to introduce that fact the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic Faiths

all have different dating systems and calendars.

This is in preparation for the introduction of Advent and Luke 3:1-2

# data[].attributes.body
I used Take Off/Touchdown instead of allowing students to raise their hand to answer a question.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Rally Robin to review fraction, decimal, percent equivalents that the students have memorized.

# data[].attributes.body
I used Think Pair Share to have partners

guess the meaning of words in their novel

and discuss, then look up the meaning and

discuss if they were correct.

# data[].attributes.body
Students used Rally Coach to complete their daily language review.

# data[].attributes.body
Used an AllWriteRoundRobin to introduce the concept that different religions/cultures use different dating systems.

# data[].attributes.body
Not sure of the correct name, but I used the idea of showing a picture to prompt a class before beginning a new unit. And I had them actually record their thoughts in their journal, followed by sharing answers with a partner. (I have been using Eastern Orthodox Icons for this)

Dawna Debter

All classes used Both Record Rally Robin to discuss quote

by Marcel Marceau and what it meant to them. Introduced

unit on Pantomime.

chapters 1-5 of All Quiet on the

Western Front.

discussing the first five chapters

of All Quiet on the Western Front.

We used rally robin to edit a hypothetical student writing sample.

We then compared notes and reached consensus as tables.

# data[].attributes.body
My students used Rally Coach on math practice problems by verbally talking through and coaching each other on every step of each problem. It worked really well!

# data[].attributes.body
I used Round Robin to aid with student discussion of Ananias and Sapphira

# data[].attributes.body
5th Grade students did Mix-Pair-Share after creating Favorite Vacation Keynotes. They each got 2 minutes to share the 2-3 slides they created during our classtime.

Teaching students to determine the validity of a website, we had a list of Five W questions (Who, What, Where, When, Why) to read as a class. The first time I taught this, I simply posted the questions on the board and read them to the students. Everyone was bored. In the second class, I had the students Round Robin as they read through the Five W's worksheet. Each student was much more engaged and it took the burden of teaching something a bit dry off my shoulders. It worked wonderfully!

Can you determine which site is real and which site is a hoax?

I used Round Robin to review the things we

learned about the periodic table the week

before Thanksgiving Break

# data[].attributes.body
I used Round Robin to discuss the

Great Commission

I used this for students to come up with topics and main ideas of short paragraphs we had on a WS.
