Look at your lessons for next week. Find two lessons to focus your attention on. How can you encourage independence and also increase the rigor in your plans? On a piece of construction or butcher paper, make a t-chart. Label the sides "before" and "after". On the "before" side, write the way you originally intended to teach the lesson. On the "after" side, write the "makeover" ideas that will include more rigorous learning on the part of your students.

Evaluate yourself: do you have norms in place so that a structure for turn and talk is in place? Look forward to your current or upcoming math unit. Where can you intentionally include turn and talks? What prompts or sentence frames will your students need to be successful. Create a slideshow with the frames OR write the frames on a poster paper or sentence strips.

Which of her ideas would you like to try in your classroom? In your upcoming lessons in Reading, Science or Social Studies is there a place where you can add student discussion time?

Watch at least the first 10 minutes. More if you want. Reflect on how this teacher uses gestures, learning partners, and student models to get students to understand what it means to decompose numbers as they use math language in their discourse.

The speaking and listening posters are excellent check-lists for students to self-assess their discourse abilities. Print out the one for your grade level and make a plan of how you will refer to the poster in next week's lesson plans. Give a short synopsis of your plan below.

OR:
Create a desk-top "reference" appropriate for your grade-level that includes several key discourse prompts. Print them and share a copy here.

On the padlet you will see different possibilities for how you may spend your time this morning. You may choose to work alone or with your grade level. The number of activities you choose is really dependent how long you spend on each one;  some will take longer than others. Make sure to post on the padlet so that that everyone can learn from each other.  Megan and Russ look forward to seeing what you worked on.
