The Think-Pair-Share traditional model has been around for a very long time. It has an enduring quality because it works.
On Day 7, Dr. Fisher explains the traditional model of Think-Pair-Share and introduces you to some variations to try out in your classroom.
CLASSROOM TASK: THINK-PAIR-SHARE
Conduct a Think-Pair-Share with your students. Pair up your students and ask them a question. Give students think time and then have them talk with their partners about the question and their responses. After their partner time, bring them back together whole-class and have them share out.
Jot down your reflections about this experience in your Professional Reflection Journal or elsewhere.
This journal can be used to reflect on what you have learned as you develop strategies for engaging your students in collaborative conversations.

We want to keep expanding the potential repertoire you have so that you can get your students talking in collaborative ways with their peers.
