Three-step Interviews
One student interviews another and then the two reverse roles.. They share with each other what they’ve learned.
Roundtable
In a small group, the first student writes a contribution and then passes the paper to the next student. Each contributes in turn. The group discusses their findings.
Think-Pair-Share
After the teacher asks a question, students think of response.Students use the interview technique to share answers.
Solve-Pair-Share
The teacher poses a problem and the students work on solutions individually. Students explain their various solutions in interview or roundtable procedures.
Numbered Heads
Each team member has a number. The teacher asks a question. The teams put their heads together to find the answer and make sure everyone knows it. The teacher calls a number and the student with that number in each team raises their hand.
Jigsaw
Each student is in a home team and an expert team. Expert teams work together on specific material different from other expert teams. Students return their home team and share what they have learned.
