Collaborative Conversation Sticks {for ELA}

August 24, 2014 By fancyfreein4th


Do
you want your students to have deeper, and more meaningful
conversations? I know that I DO!!! Whether you have English Language Learners OR timid students, Collaborative Conversation Sticks are a great idea. I
created this product to help my students master the CCSS for both Speaking
& Listening which state that students
need to be able to: “engage
effectively in a range of collaborative discussions with
diverse partners on grade-level topics and texts, building on other’s ideas
and expressing their own clearly.”
These
30 Sentence Stem sticks will provide your students, and mine, support to engage in academic conversations.  If you haven’t used “sentence stems” before… then they will help your student become Active Participants in group discussions during Language Arts. They
will also hold the students accountable to contributing and foster critical
thinking. The response starters and prompts will focus the academic
conversation and keep the students on-topic.

Simply
Print, Laminate and attach these 30 sentence stems to a popsicle stick so your students can grab them while
working in groups.
ANNNNNNNDDD as a Back to School Twist!!!! I will give this set away to one of my FANTASTIC Followers who can guess my favorite clothing pattern to wear!…. Ready friends, guess and get this fantastic set!!!

There’s so much advice I would tell first year- There’s so much advice I would tell first year- teacher-me…. Especially after the last (almost) 2 years of teaching; barely afloat. This year is so hard. I have to stop regularly and tell my student teacher, “it’s never been like this”. But to my core, it’s always been- children first, relationships first, or nothing else matters. Though this year is tough in new ways, there’s still much hope and laughter each day. Thanks @eveleon26 for reminding me of my first, wonderful year of teaching- so I can bring that energy, excitement each day- no matter the circumstance. For all of my teacher friends out there, I see you- I know it’s hard- and I’m grateful for you. (P.S-it’s almost winter break, you got this!) #tiredteacher #cleareyesfullheartscantlose
