Description
Ready to level up student-led discussions? Build in discussion stems with accountable talk moves. Peer to peer conversations will be richer, and students will have specific strategies for pushing their thinking.
RESOURCE CONTENTS:
1. 40 discussion stem accountable talk moves
The discussion stems are in secure PDF format as well as on a Google Slide™. The Google Slide™ is secure, but a blank slide with a secure background and editable textbox is included. These talk moves are arranged in two formats. One is bookmark style. The other is an 11 x 8.5 reference page.
2. Posters
The four posters feature a variety of talk moves for rephrasing and clarifying, adding onto a comment, agreeing and disagreeing, and indicating shifts in thinking. Print them, hang them in the classroom, or use them on a secure classroom platform as a visual reminder.
3. Self-reflection and goal setting questions
Involve metacognition by encouraging students to reflect on their participation in student-led discussions. Students will indicate their progress for twelve different standards-aligned skills related to speaking and listening. Then, they will set a goal for growth and choose a strategy to help them get there. This activity is included as a secure PDF and Google Slides™ interactive activity.
Use these discussion stems with middle and high school students who are participating in small group or whole-class student-led discussions. Think: literature circles, fishbowl conversations, socratic seminars, and more.
