What do you notice regarding the effect of the use of any participation structure in a lesson?
When observing any of the video clips in the Oral Language Development (OLD) teaching practice site, what happens in the classroom when any of the participation structures* are used during a lesson? How do students respond? What does the teacher do? Is equity enhanced? Any other observations about student engagement or teaching strategies to consider?
If you would like to review actual video clip examples, please explore the OLD site, returning here to share your insights.
* Participation structures include: Brainstorm, Elaboration, Paraphrase, Turn and Talk, Write-Pair-Share
