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!!!
