Using Argumentation, Not Arguing
Join Dr. Fisher on Day 25 and explore the third indicator for assessing group work in collaborative conversations.
Dr. Fisher invites you to engage your students in conversations where students keep digging deeper into the evidence of the text and come to terms with their understanding. Argumentation is a conversation where students explore complex ideas in the classroom.
CLASSROOM TASK: OBSERVE YOUR STUDENTS
Use the rubric and focus on Argumentation, Not Arguing. Do your student engage in this type of conversation or do they simply give each other information? Look for deeper conversations that use argumentation. You can use any strategy you choose for collaborative conversations as you observe your students.
Reflect on this and the steps you can take to facilitate conversations where your students agree and disagree.
This journal can be used to reflect on what you have learned as you develop strategies for engaging your students in collaborative conversations.
Use this rubric over the next 6 days to learn about the indicators of success and then assess your students’ group work.
Use this debate graphic organizer to help your students construct their argumentation conversation.
Argumentation is the kind of conversation students need to have with each other to further one another’s thinking about the task.
