Communication skills are necessary to be successful in all facets of life. Scholarly Speaking activities teach students how to communicate effectively and comfortably in a variety of situations. One-One-Two Minute Partner Share helps students develop their knowledge of their classmates, while concurrently allowing them to work on creative thinking and speaking skills.
STEPS:
Tell students to find a partner.
This is a great opportunity to use WICOR Study Buddies.
Ensure that each student has a copy of Student Handout One-One–Two-Minute Partner Share for taking notes, as well as a writing utensil.
Review the directions on the handout with the class.
It might be helpful to role play by modeling each step for the class.
Encourage students to take notes on the information that their partner shares.
Instruct students to determine who will be Partner A and who will be Partner B.
Use a timer to monitor and transition students through each step.
Debrief this activity as a whole group by asking students to share things that they noticed. For example, did it help to take notes while their partner was sharing information? What was challenging about taking notes?
SCAFFOLDS:
As a whole group, brainstorm ideas on chart paper that students can share with a partner. Ideas could include: family members, sports played, hobbies, vacations, favorite food, etc. Use both images and words. • Ask for a volunteer to model sharing in front of the class.
Other ideas for the “listening” partner include the following:
Encourage students to remember and repeat back one or two things that their partner shared.
Instead of repeating information, have students develop and ask questions to the speaker during that time.
Extend the amount of time that students have to repeat back or ask questions.
EXTENSION:
To increase rigor, use this structure to review content for the class. Have students work with a partner on an assigned topic. First, have the students independently read or review information over the same topic. Then, have students use the One-One-Two Minute Partner Share structure to review key information.
To integrate technology, have students record themselves talking during their partner share, and then go back and review the recording to monitor that key information was recalled. Have students take note of information that was missed.
