You will now write a one- to two-page summary of what you have learned and how you plan to apply it in your classroom. Review the notes you have taken during this session, as well as your answers to the Reflect on Your Experience questions. Use the questions below to guide your writing.
- 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?
- How would you decide whether a classroom interaction was successful or not?
Submit your summary as an assignment.
