Join Dr. Fisher on Day 26 and explore ways to provide language support to your students to increase the likelihood that their collaborative conversations are productive.
Dr. Fisher invites you to consider using teacher modeling, word banks, word wall, and word lists as possible language supports that can help ensure your students’ success.
CLASSROOM TASK: OBSERVE YOUR STUDENTS
Using any strategy that you’ve learned so far, observe your students at work. Use the 4, 3, 2, 1, rating system of the rubric and determine the type of support your students currently have.
Reflect on the kind of language support your students may benefit from as they continue practicing their collaborative conversations.
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.
Students often have something they want to say, but they may not know how to say it.
