When you worked with your team on your first lab, what were the best parts of your collaboration?
What were the worst parts? What made working together challenging?

When you are completing a chemistry experiment, what are some of the safety considerations you need to follow? What safety equipment do you think you will need?
I can explain the new structures in place to support collaboration in my lab group.
This means I can learn about my roles.
This means I can explain how my roles are critical to the success of my team.
This means I can complete my part of the reading to prepare for the Socratic dialogue.
CHALK TALK!
- Move around the room to the different posters
- Read each role description and write any notices/wonders on the poster near it
- This is a silent protocol. Share your ideas by writing, not by speaking
- When you are finished, return to your seat
DAY 1 - Reading Roles
VOCAB MASTER - Tables 1-2
The vocab master is responsible for definitions and examples of the vocabulary words from each text
Responsibilities:
Read the text
Write the definition of each bold vocabulary word in the right column
Complete Frayer models for each vocabulary word from the text
Be ready to provide definitions and examples of any vocabulary word during the Socratic dialogue or during lab work
Be ready to provide at least one relevant definition for the research step during the lab
CONTENT MASTER - Tables 3-4-5
The content master is responsible for providing summaries for each part of the text
Responsibilities:
Read the text
Write the gist for each paragraph or section in the right column
Be ready to provide gists of any part of the text when asked in the Socratic dialogue or during lab work
Be ready to provide sections of the text that could be used for research to support a particular hypothesis
CONNECTION MASTER - Tables 6-7
The connection master is responsible for finding connections between parts of the current text or between the current text and previous learning
Responsibilities:
Read the text
For each paragraph or section, write how that section connects with other parts of the text, previous units, or real-world phenomenon
Be ready to provide connections (such as real-world examples or connections to previous learning) that will help everyone understand better for any part of the text when asked in the Socratic dialogue or during lab work
Be ready to provide real-world connections for parts of the text that could be used as research
READING TIME!
Begin reading the text with your table group. Annotate the text according to your group's role:
- Tables 1 and 2: Annotate definitions of vocab words and create Frayer Models for each one
- Tables 3, 4, and 5: Annotate the gist of each paragraph or section (this is what we did last time)
- Tables 6 and 7: Annotate connections between parts of the text or between the text and previous learning or real-world examples
DAY 2 - Lab Roles
Let's move to our lab seats. Some of them have changed.
During lab work time, I will assess your group on the following rubric. You will also be able to self-assess using this rubric. Those two grades will become one of your habits grade each week.
What is our dialogue about tomorrow?
Your discussion will center around the text, as well as your observations from the video. You will be discussing how the creation of concrete connects to the concept of chemical reactions that you've been reading about. This is to help you prepare to complete a lab about chemical reactions.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
1. Tomorrow (Friday) is the last day to turn in Lab 1 for regrading. Remember to put post-it notes on each part that should be regraded.
2. Our second lab is a shortened process. We will not be developing a full lab. Instead, this will take one day (Monday) and you will be working from a packet instead of your lab notebook.
3. Tomorrow is our next Socratic Dialogue. This will work similarly to the first. For your participation to count:
You must be on topic (either related to previous comment, or stating that you would like to change the subject)
Your participation must be meaningful (see the sentence stems for examples)
You can prepare questions or comments in advance if you struggle to participate during the circle
You must participate at least 2 times to earn a 3
Homework
Finish the reading for case study 2 and finish the product for your role (Frayer models, summary, or connections) by Friday
Debrief
