Start with a knowledge base setting question:
Ask students to Retell the story (leads into summary)
gist of the:
Beginning of the story (characters, problem and setting?)
Middle (problem and attempts to solve it)
End (outcome/solution to the problem)
Purpose setting question:
links the discussion back to the purpose for reading
can be lots of leading question but not writing down
Open Ended:
not a yes or no question
not leading or assuming one answer
not using qualifiers (good, bad, frustrated, ect)
Connect with Learning Targets
Link to Children:
What did Frog and Toad learn from this experience?
What can we learn from this experience?
Scaffolding students discussion:
"That is a explicit question, you can find the answer in the text. Think to yourself now where in the story can you find the answer, beginning, middle, end? (teaching how to find the fact quickly)."
"That is an inferential question you need to use your logic and text evidence to answer the question"
Working towards students creating the discussion themselves.
Wait time:
- One: After the question
- Two: After the response
- Three: Teachers model wait time, to show thinking
Praise
- Too much and general praise should be avoided
- Try giving praise for the whole group at the end and targeting things that need work.
Reflect, If you didn't do the conversation, what did you see as far as student learning?
