- How might you involve students in classroom conversations?
- How will you determine what kinds of questions you will ask? What, if anything, might cause you to alter those questions during a lesson?
- In what situations would you use the IRE conversation pattern with students? The IRF conversation pattern? What are some factors that you would consider in determining this?
- What guidelines will you set for students when they converse in small groups to ensure that there is meaningful conversation?
