This is a We Do from CMAS Prep, getting students used to the 4 Corners and Talking Towers SLPs. Please feel free to borrow either.

This was a really casual Accountable Talk method -- students had to take notes on their Breakout Room (small group) discussion but color code who said what! So, students each chose a color for themselves at the start of the conversation (everyone recorded each other's color on their own sheet), and then everyone would keep track of who contributed what comment to the conversation.
