Human Learning and Retention
Human Learning and Retention
Studies show students retain much more from a lesson through academic discussion, hands-on practice, and teaching others. This research backs up the concept of bilingual partner work so long as the teacher remains in a facilitator role and the source of answers comes from the bilingual partner, table group, and class of students.

What am I Supposed to Do with These Baskets?
Each week in Math/Science/SocialStudies/Specials, the teacher has multiple opportunities for Bilingual Pair Activities. (See Bilingual Partners)
The activities are to be collected and held in this basket. Some assignments will be posted as recent bilingual partner work, and others will be sorted and sent home with partners. Students can decide who takes home work through a system of the teacher's choice (ie. Rock-Paper-Scissors).
