vertical non permanent surfaces in the core french classroom

Laura Wheeler’s rules of working on the VNPSs in the class.

• One person has the white board marker at a time.
• The person with the marker can only write down what their partners tell them to (if they want to explain the next step, they hand the marker to a different partner).
• The teacher can say “passe le marqueur ” at any point & a new partner needs to become the writer.
• I also tell them that if one person does the solving & writing without partner input, I’ll erase their work.
• No sitting down.
• No working things out on paper before using the board.
