Opportunities to Respond
Written Responses
Rationale: When a teacher uses written responses, it provides a scaffolded way to elicit responses from all students and move them toward a firm grasp of concepts or information. It allows teachers to correct errors and clarify misconceptions, reteach information, or move forward in the lesson.Â
Description: This can be used at the beginning of a lesson to retrieve previous content, during a lesson to summarize content or at the end of the lesson to pull information from notes or text. Examples: Writing frames, sentence starters, response slates/cards, or summary statements
