14. THINK-WRITE-PAIR-SHARE (Discussion, Collaboration, Writing)
Description: This academic approach provides students fuel on a given topic, enabling them to formulate and communicate individual ideas and share these ideas with another student.
Application: This procedure is useful for activities like note and lecture checks, vocabulary, quiz, and concept reviews, outline, discussion questions, partner reading, topic development, agree/disagree, brainstorming, simulations, current events, summarization, and development of an opinion.
Process: Assign partners and present a topic to discuss. Give students at least ten seconds of think time to ponder their own answers and tell them to scribble down some ideas. Next, direct partners to discuss the topic or solution (both must contribute) and then randomly call on a few students to share their ideas with the class. Remind students that no one can provide more than one answer for each topic.
