A Student Led Discussion Strategy

Pass, Pass, SynthesizeA Student Led Discussion Strategy

What is it?

"This is a written student led discussion strategy. Students respond to a question or write about a topic for a set amount of time before “passing” the paper to a partner who then writes for another set amount of time. After two rounds of response and writing, the paper is passed a third time. This time, each student has to read the two previous responses and “synthesize” them together. You may want to provide students with sentence stems for synthesis and response. This has natural extension to share-out or a whole-class share out."

Another Fun Idea

"Trash talk: Have students wad their papers up into small balls and “throw” them into the air or to another student. Each student grabs one, smooths out the paper, responds, and then wads it up again to pass it on."
