How do you take the passion and chatter that K-5 students bring to
the classroom and turn it into conversation skills that make them
better learners? Academic conversation can help hone speaking and
listening, critical thinking, and social-emotional skills, as well
as deepen content knowledge. But despite its effectiveness, this
kind of purposeful, student-led discussion is rarely taught or used
at the elementary level. The mystery for teachers is how to support
students at various stages of development and build an environment
of trust that lets them cultivate these skills. In Demystifying
Discussion, veteran teacher Jennifer Orr gives elementary school
teachers a primer on teaching students to engage in student-led
academic conversation. The strategies, sample assessments, and
example conversations in this book show you how to help young
learners get better at sharing, exploring, and synthesizing their
individual and collective thinking. You'll also learn how to manage
different perspectives and disagreements among students. This is a
book to use all year long to improve classroom discussion, hone
students' skills (and your own), and enhance students' overall
learning throughout their time in school and beyond.
