Call-and-response interactions occur between a speaker and listeners, and take the form of singular calls that are acknowledged by group responses.
Responses can be solicited or spontaneous, and the calls or responses can be expressed linguistically, musically, verbally, or nonverbally. Call-and response-interactions are used to bring students to attention, think about class mantras, reinforce content, or celebrate achievements.
STEPS:
FIGURE OUT PURPOSE: When using call and response with students, first consider the purpose of the students’ response. When students respond, they should:
Come to attention
Reengage
Reinforce key information
Celebrate
MODEL THE EXPECTATION: Model the expectation for how students will respond appropriately and what actions they will take next.
FREQUENT USE: Use call and response frequently to support a culture of success and accountability.
EXTENSIONS:
To increase rigor, have students work in small groups to either create call-and-response options that reinforce class content or to review information for an upcoming assessment. Have students teach their call and responses to the class.
