The challenge is to put into practice what you learned last week by planning to use Conversation Cues in upcoming lessons. (And feel free to revisit last week's post if you need a refresh on how to do that.)
What does this look like?
- Find a lesson in which you'd like to practice it. Do this by internalizing the lesson, finding its heart, purpose, and student work, and consider whether Conversation Cues are already in the lesson or if you want to add them. If you want to add them, be sure they serve the purpose of the lesson. Remember, by now all grade levels have been introduced to Cue 1 and Cue 2.
- Use the Conversation Cue in the lesson. When you use it, capture some data on a piece of paper. Which cue did you use? Did you have to use a stem? Which students talked, and what did they say?
- Reflect. How did it work? Did it help you deepen student discourse from more students?
Completed that? Fantastic! You just completed your Week 14 Teaching Challenge. If you're working for that small prize, you can log your success here, and be sure to check back Dec. 2 for Week 15.
Here's to simply teaching well,
