Strategies for Peer-to-Peer Conversations and Student Led Book Talks
Manage episode 357916987 series 3411996
This episode focuses on how teachers can use student-led book talks as an alternative to traditional book clubs. This episode provides a plan of action for implementing this type of discussion in the classroom, as well as additional resources and ideas for getting students thinking and talking about literature.
By having students lead discussions, teachers can help create an environment for meaningful conversations and promote higher-level thinking. It is important for teachers to step back and allow the students to take charge of the discussion, as this will help build confidence in their speaking abilities and foster deeper conversations with their peers.
In this episode about Student Led Book Talks, I share:
- Student led book talks are a great alternative to book clubs if book selection is limited.
- Use your regular routine to have students read and prepare for the book talks.
- On Discussion day, let your students lead!
- We need to move our secondary ELA students away from the simple question and answer format and provide opportunities that promote thinking.
