  • Collaborative dialogue with students to students or in groups should be a common practice of everyday lessons. This gives students the opportunity to be engaged in thinking, talking, and responding.

  • Collaborative discussions are discussions that provide opportunities for speakers and listeners to use dialogue and interaction to raise issues, explore ideas, make claims, discover differences, and find ways to explore all aspects of ELA. These take many forms such as Socratic seminars, Think-Pair-Share, or debate are a combination of students in small or large discourse communities.

  • Discussion occurs organically within other lessons. It can be taught intentionally as the focus of a lesson but is also effectively taught within the lessons of other standards.

  • Providing opportunities to practice the delivery of presentations and allowing time for feedback from teachers or peers equips students with confidence prior to actual presentation time. 

Due to recursive nature of the standards, it is essential that teachers are aware of how all objectives within and between strands work together for optimal instruction.
