How are we learning?
Direct Instruction
Norms:
No side conversations
Take notes/ eyes on work/ listening
Ask questions! (write down to ask at an appropriate time - raise hand)
Use highlighters when I use them
This applies when another student raises their hand to ask a question . We should show the same respect and listen to what they have to say.
Class Discussions
Norms:
Listen to others
Raise hand to speak
Pay attention to teacher/speaker
Participate in discussion - share your ideas!
Use as much academic vocabulary as possible to build confidence
Group Discussions
Norms:
Give every group member a chance to speak
Respect each other's ideas
Work together (do your part)
Focus on your team (don't search for answers from other teams until you've asked everyone from yours first)
To ensure the best learning occurs for everyone, do not let teammates work ahead or fall behind! “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.” -Michael Jordan
