Description
After reading aloud the picture book Collaboration Station, these slides can be used to introduce/review your routines and behavior expectations for partner work and small groups.
Through text connections to the read aloud, these slides contain discussion questions designed to guide collaborative conversations with your class. It serves as a powerful way of setting a strong foundation for effective teamwork in the classroom.
You might use this resource for mini lessons (just focusing on specific slides on different days, or throughout various times of the school year). Or you could do a full lesson with most or all of the slides at once, as a complete introduction or review for collaborative learning.
Slide decks are provided in both Google Slides and PowerPoint.
Pick and choose the slides that best meet the needs of your class (please see the Preview for a sample from the slide deck).
An editable slide is also included, in case you’d like to customize it with any of your own discussion questions or activities.
This resource also includes a list of various tips and suggestions of ways to utilize the slides.
