Procedures/Instructional Strategies
[Note: Any words that represent what I would say directly to students appear in italics.]
Elsie: The Think Pair Share is great for Elsie because although she excels in the class, she does
not really like to speak up. This method allows her time to articulate her thoughts, share them on
a low level with just her partner, and then allows her ideas to be share by either herself or her
partner. The discussions that follow also allow time for her to participate if she wants to.
Graham: The Think Pair Share also works for Graham. Because he is a bit of a goofball, group
work usually goes askew when he is involved. The TPS requires has built in accountability since
the students are required to share out. Because of this, he will be forced to discuss the task at
hand in order to have an answer to share out at the end.
The outline sheet is designed to help scaffold for students who are a little lost in the planning
process. I think this sheet could be helpful to students on varying readiness levels or of varying
organizational habits.
