What’s fantastic about this structure?
Built-in thinking time to ensure learners are thinking through answers fully. Built-in negotiation time: a key skill. Total individual accountability because ANY learner could be chosen at random for feedback. Creates a mentoring ethos because learners help each other to reach an agreement.
Use this structure for:
Brainstorming and discussions where more thought is needed. AFL: sets of questions posed by the teacher or lead learner about today’s learning.
ENCOURAGE SILENCE DURING THE THINKING TIME.
