Description
The "Deep Dive Discussion Protocol" is an activity that allows students to practice accountable talk and inquiry of a text. Students work in small groups and use task cards to contribute to a group discussion. Students receive four task cards, (1) ask a question card, (1) answer a question card, (2) make a statement card. This helps to guide the conversation. Once students master the protocol, students will more easily discuss a complex text and other stimuli.
What's included:
- Student handout with four task cards and student directions
- Student reference sheet with question and statement stems
- Teacher's Guide with directions
How does this resource work:
- Assign discussion groups.
- Provide students with a prompt. The prompt may be based on a reading, visual, video, or another stimulus.
- After students review the stimulus, distribute a set of task cards to each student. Each set includes: one (1) Ask a question task card, one (1) Answer a question task card, and two (2) Make a statement task card. You can cut them out beforehand, or print a handout for each student and have them cut out the cards themselves.
- Instruct students to engage in conversation about the assigned prompt.
- Students need to place a task card into the middle of the table each time they speak. For example, if a student asks a question about the stimulus they place the corresponding task card into the middle of the table.
- Students are required to use all four cards during the discussion.
