To increase the level of engagement, the teacher can notify the student that their questions might be picked and used on informal assessments or class discussion.

Teaching students the difference between a statement and a question.

How to use Student-Generated Questions

david_zendejas — 2024-08-05 18:27:21 UTC

Give students opportunities to ask questions of the text/ information to encourage engagement and understanding as the lesson is taught.

Science

2024-08-07 20:02:38 UTC

To summarize and discuss a scientific reading. To review procedures for a lab.

Accountable Talk 1st Grade

2024-08-07 20:02:54 UTC

We use partner talk with sentence frames and then student shares their partners thoughts.

English

2024-08-07 20:03:09 UTC

To review stories, students work with a pair and agree on the answer together. They are required to blend their answers together to make one answer and this way, they have more confidence sharing their answers to the class. They are always given time to think first on their own and there is a time limit.

Socratic Seminar

2024-08-07 20:03:19 UTC

Socratic Seminar on a controversial topic of some sort.

Kindergarten DI

2024-08-07 20:04:31 UTC

In kindergarten students need time to think about their responses BEFORE they share, so we use a lot of think-pair-share. Otherwise they go off topic.

2024-08-07 20:05:39 UTC

Think-Pair-Share with sentence frames. The listener will then share out what their partner shared with them, also using the given sentence frames. You can also put kids in groups of three. The third partner is a coach who makes sure the other two are using the frames/vocabulary and then shares what he/she heard.

2024-08-07 20:05:51 UTC

Partner sharing

To discuss and share different strategies for solving a problem in math, science, reading, etc.

Sharing their prior knowledge

Rephrasing what they learned in the whole group lesson or what they did with their team

2024-08-07 20:05:53 UTC

I would like to have students help each other to learn Driver Education facts they will need for their Driver's test. Most of them will take it this fall. I'm thinking they could each share a question they know the answer to, and their partner could try to answer, and they could explain and answer any questions the partner might have.
