YES, it is used primarily to talk about a subject/ check for understanding, but I know they will naturally talk about other subjects too. If a class starts off too squirrely, I remind them that we will have a TPS later, so to stay focused and quiet in the meantime. I use a wheel of names as an accountability tool so if a student was off topic the entire TPS, they might have a consequence later if the wheel picks them.]]> 2023-10-16 16:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jferrer35/o0mz57ck8oaok7of/wish/2749199830 Investment https://padlet.com/jferrer35/o0mz57ck8oaok7of/wish/2749199862 Maybe the investment in the time it takes to Think-Pair-Share will pay off with more focus later in class.]]> 2023-10-16 16:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jferrer35/o0mz57ck8oaok7of/wish/2749199862 Visual Reminders of Expectations https://padlet.com/jferrer35/o0mz57ck8oaok7of/wish/2749199870 If you regularly use groups in your class, it is good to have a visual reminder of when students are supposed to talk in their groups vs just with a partner.]]> 2023-10-16 16:41:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jferrer35/o0mz57ck8oaok7of/wish/2749199870 Students need to be partnered with students of like mind, level, or they feel comfortable with. I notice a lack of talking with the partners I set because they don't feel safe or welcome speaking with them. But if they are able to pick a partner to work with they are more likely to make the progress I want them to make. dhemsley https://padlet.com/jferrer35/o0mz57ck8oaok7of/wish/2749200157 2023-10-16 16:41:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jferrer35/o0mz57ck8oaok7of/wish/2749200157 Encourage students, that this is the okay time to talk.
