This is similar to the technique that Cornelius demonstrated. The students observe a resource and then each student speaks for a short period of time on a very specific prompt. Then they speak together for a longer period. Finally they do a quick write in their notebooks summarizing the understanding that they've gained from the discussion. The attached example is from a lesson on human evolution.]]> 2018-03-26 19:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246259612 8th Grade Comp Sci 2 https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246259745 Slides to help facilitate use and timing of Peer review graphic organizer, guiding verbal and written reflection on students' programming and web content/design.

This process also lowers the bar to entry into the conversation. After the discussion about strategy, students will have a better launching point for their written responses to the prompt. ]]> 2018-03-26 19:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246264239 Inner/Outer for Opinion Pieces https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246264986 After ELA Test prep wraps up, ELA team will use their inner/outer format to expand on complex ideas that are less tangible. For example, the argument unit used inner/outer circles to debate evidence and ideas rooted in articles. In this unit, we will be debating concepts like the American Dream, and what that means for different students. The hope is that students are able to wrap their heads around complex ideas (American Dream) by listening to other students define these topics. Students will also build empathy across cultural, social divides through conversations around American Dream. ]]> 2018-03-26 19:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246264986 In order to build understanding of nonfiction evidence students cut out evidence cards and sort them into categories. They work together to do this and discuss why each piece of evidence belongs to its respective category. They then glue the evidence down and can use the resulting document as scaffolding to help them write. https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246267169 2018-03-26 19:36:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246267169 Turn and Talk Instructions and Resources for Classwork Handouts pkatumuluwa https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246269097 Since Turn and Talk is our most frequently used discussion protocol, we want to build more structured routines around different short talk strategies.

We have seen improvement in their participation in discussions.]]> 2018-03-27 01:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/246326517 Onstad -- Using academic vocabulary "Bingo" to raise the level of group and class discussions. https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/254161865 Students have been participating enthusiastically in class discussion, but I need a way to encourage them to use academic language. By using academic language in talk, they are more likely to use it in writing. This free online bingo card maker allows teachers to create a list of content-specific words and phrases. I'm hoping to incorporate this tool into a fishbowl style discussion. Students on the outside of the fishbowl would have bingo cards and would track the literary language used by their peers. ]]> 2018-04-22 17:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ereale1/442inquiry/wish/254161865
