24. PARTNER TALK (Discussion, Collaboration, Questioning)
Description: This academic approach provides students fuel on a given topic, enabling them to formulate individual ideas and share these ideas with another student.
Application: This procedure is useful for activities like note check, vocabulary review, quiz review, concept review, lecture check, outline, discussion questions, partner reading, topic development, agree/disagree, brainstorming, simulations, and/or summarization and development of an opinion.
Process: Assign partners and present a discussion topic or problem to solve, allowing at least 10 seconds of think time to ponder individual answers. Tell partners to discuss the topic or solution (both must contribute) and then randomly call on a few students to share their ideas with the entire class.
