In my class, I will condition the students to know how to set up a discussion and what that looks like. I also want to implement interactive notebooks, so that is what I am referring to when I say notebooks. I will model and show how I want discussion groups set up.
- get notebooks and current text out
- have questions prepared from the night before
- move everything out of the way and get in circles ready to discuss.
In order to implement this, I will start off showing them where to go and what to bring: their notebook, questions, and text (US), then the UR will be ready to discuss. In order to signify that I am ready to discuss and they should go there, I can give a verbal cue like "circle up" or ding a bell, (NS). As we move throughout the year, they should be able to move with all their materials when they hear the cue (CS) to their discussion groups (CR).
