Accountable Talk: Productive Discussions & Communication Pack

With this Accountable Talk: Productive Discussions & Communication Pack students will be able to Speak & Listen more clearly and effectively, and you'll have tools you need to track and measure those skills.

What makes this pack different? This pack is not necessarily a set of worksheets that “teach a lesson” on accountable talking practices and procedures for classroom communication and discussion. It is a set of tools that you can use to foster successful discussion in your room from day one. This pack considers the before, during, and after of classroom discussions. Successful talk practices truly drive learning and writing every day and are used by not only the students, but also the teacher. Read About It - Talk About It - Write About It.

-colorful, ready to print anchor chart poster with discussion stems (pdf and JPEG format)

-an editable log for teacher use during classroom discussions to monitor the depth of discussion and student participation level.

-A student reflection form for use after discussions , editable
