During pair/group work, circulate and listen to student talk during pair work and group work, and jot notes about common or important words and phrases, together with helpful sketches or diagrams. Scribe students' words and sketches on visual displays to refer back to during whole class discussions throughout the unit. Refer back to these words, phrases, and diagrams by asking students to explain how they are useful, asking students to clarify their meaning, and asking students to reflect on which words and visuals help to communicate ideas more precisely.
