Description
This Accountable Talk Interactive Bulletin Board serves as a “hub” in your classroom where students can practice engaging in collaborative conversations (in writing, and verbally).
Each student has their own page on the bulletin board, and their page displays their picture (you might have them show their best “thinking” pose in the photo).
Whenever students come up with a question, idea, or thought as they are reading, writing, or having a discussion in class, they can “post” their thinking on a sticky note underneath where it says “Here’s what I’m thinking…” or “What is Your Brain Brewing?”
Students can read their other classmates’ posts, and they are able to “post” responses on sticky notes. A response can be a comment, an answer to a question, a question asking about the post, etc.
You can provide opportunities for students to use their written discourse as jumping off points for verbal discussions with one another. You may also choose a few posts to “feature” every so often and use them as starting points for whole class discussions.
The subjects of the posts can be driven by the students, or you could provide students with a specific topic or question that relates to something you’re currently learning about.
The download includes:
- 2 options for ready-to-print templates of the student pages
- An editable template for the student page, in case you would like to customize the wording for your own class
This accountable talk hub will serve as a unique collaborative space in your classroom!
