- Students form triads and discuss questions related to the same topic three different times. Students complete a collaborative or independent task based on their discussions.
Steps: 1. Give each student three index cards. Post three questions for students to discuss. 2. Have students form a triad. The triad discusses the first question and takes notes on one index card. 3. Have students form a new triad and discuss the next question, taking notes on the second index card. 4. Have students form a third triad and discuss the third question, taking notes on the last index card. 5. After returning to seats, students complete a collaborative or independent task based on their discussions (i.e., reflection, summary, three key points, similarities and differences, etc). | Differentiation: • Strategically pair students for peer support. Variations: • Use to compare solutions to math problems. • Change the group numbers and amount of rotations. |
