Take your Think-Pair-Share up a notch by providing a safe, structured way to have students expose their thinking AND engage in academic dialogue! I use these to create opportunities for:
⭐ independently thinking by making observations and processing thoughts,
⭐ engaging with a partner/peer to hear and process similarities/differences and allow their thinking to grow as they consider new information, and
⭐ sharing out findings with the class – recognizing that learning is a social process, not an isolated one.
Use interactive notebooks like me?! Well, these fit in perfectly! Simply print the page (full size, landscape 11x8.5), fold it in half and glue it into the center of your notebook. Voilà! You are set!
