Dance It – Chance It
movement and discourse
PURPOSE – Movement and Discourse: Allow students to respond to a question or text, collaborate with a friend, and then take two chances as they solve problems.
- Organize students into a large circle or smaller circles of 5-6.
- Teacher poses a question, presents a concept, or displays a visual and asks:
- What is one thing you learned today about _____?
- What words are associated with _____?
- What is one thing you remember from yesterday about _____?
- Students catch the ball, offer a response, and throw to another student.
- Continue tossing and responding until every student in the circle has responded.
- Teacher sees and hears students’ thinking and clarifies/verifies as appropriate.
