  28. 5 Keys to Promote Student Talk • Norms (not rules) • Set at beginning of year • Teach throughout year • School/district consistency

  29. 5 Keys to Promote Student Talk • Norms (not rules) • Sentence Starters/Stems • Relevant group task • Authentic audience • Self Reflection/Peer Assessments

  30. Norms (not rules) 1. Listen actively and make eye contact. 2. Make connections. • Take initiative! • Invite others into the conversation. • Appreciate others’ ideas.

  31. “The Five Habits of Highly Effective Discussants” 1. Listen actively and make eye contact. 2. Make connections. • Take initiative! • Invite others into the conversation. • Appreciate others’ ideas. Stach Ishigaki, ELA Teacher, Eastside College Prep HS, East Palo Alto, CA (2007)

  32. Sentence Stems

  33. SENTENCE STEMS

  34. (1) Listen actively and make eye contact.

  35. (2) Make connections.

  36. (3) Take initiative!

  37. (4) Invite others into the conversation. (Share the air space!)

  38. (5) Appreciate others’ ideas.

  39. Scaffold: From 2 to 4 • Now that we’ve practiced in pairs, let’s try using sentence stems in groups. • First, we need to decide what the norm actually means.

  40. Example: “Invite others into the conversation” LOOKS LIKE • A group sitting evenly in a square or circle. • People looking at the speaker SOUNDS LIKE • Everyone’s voice is heard • People asking each other questions

  41. Timed Writing • Write as many ideas as you can think of that describes what your norm looks and sounds like (2 mins)

  42. Round Robin • Each person takes turns sharing an idea until everyone has shared all her/his ideas. • Add each other’s ideas to your list. • Place or or next to repeats.

  43. Consensus, Compromise, Community • Place or or next to repeats. Place each shared idea on a singlepost-it, and affix to matching Norm poster.

  44. Relevant Group Task • Our Class Inquiry: “Norming the 21st Century Classroom” • Outcome: to develop and share knowledge about our inquiry • Five Groups: each analyzing a different “norm” in relation to the key principle, “Relevant Group Task”

  45. Group Task Each group has a task card that includes: • A description of a meaningful task related to our class inquiry • Directions for completing the task • A group norm, sentence stems, and individual roles • A performance outcome • An authentic audience

  46. Group Roles Conversation Starter and Contributors Timekeeper Recorder Title Slide Creator

  47. Authentic Audience Showtime in 15 minutes!

  48. 5 Keys to Promote Student Talk • Norms (not rules) • Sentence Starters/Stems • Relevant group task • Authentic audience • Self Reflection/Peer Assessments
