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.]]> 2018-03-07 20:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387490 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387640 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. ]]> 2018-03-07 20:15:59 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387640 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387819 Children need to know it's okay to add on to the ideas of others or ask others to explain their thinking.]]> 2018-03-07 20:16:21 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387819 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387835 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. ]]> 2018-03-07 20:16:23 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387835 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387920 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.]]> 2018-03-07 20:16:35 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239387920 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388083 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. ]]> 2018-03-07 20:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388083 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388434 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. ]]> 2018-03-07 20:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388434 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388464 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.]]> 2018-03-07 20:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388464 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388467 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.]]> 2018-03-07 20:17:37 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388467 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388552 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.]]> 2018-03-07 20:17:49 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388552 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239388676 Mingle,pair,share is kind of like musical chair partners.

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.]]> 2018-03-07 20:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390555 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390627 Permission to revise our thinking]]> 2018-03-07 20:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390627 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390696 Permission to revise our thinking]]> 2018-03-07 20:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390696 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390771 Permission to revise our thinking]]> 2018-03-07 20:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390771 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390790 Permission to revise our thinking]]> 2018-03-07 20:22:13 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390790 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390809 Permission to revise our thinking]]> 2018-03-07 20:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390809 https://padlet.com/maureen_hill/collaborativepairs/wish/239390826 I Liked the talk moves.

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.
