Students take turns sharing for an equal amount of time in groups of three. The teacher ensures silent thinking time before and after each speaker. After sharing, the group works to form a response.
Listen to peers without the pressure of immediately responding. Track use of academic skills (e.g. vocabulary, information, perspectives). Elaborate on ideas and deepen understanding of peer responses.
Listen to students describing their learning and thinking. Take notes to adjust lessons in response to learner strengths and needs.
