I used this primarily with science and social studies as part of pre-discussion activities to ensure that students had thoughtful ideas to contribute. We also used it in our novel study.

Think, Pair, Share Graphic Organizer

Great for encouraging classroom discussion and developing English Language Skills for your multilingual students.

This awesome graphic organizer has helped my students with the new Speaking and Listening Anchor standards under Common Core, specifically having discussions, while tying it to the Writing Anchor Standards.

After reading a text excerpt from a fiction or nonfiction book, newsela.com, or Scholastic Weekly, I give my students a question to discuss with a partner about the reading topic. They can summarize a story, give what they think a character's point of view might be, share an interesting fact, or their opinion on any reading topic.

I use this with all my students, but find that this discussion prompt is especially helpful for my ELLs, (English Language Learners) in classroom discussions. This helps them to get comfortable talking as well as using academic vocabulary from a close read.

Also, it gets them to write their ideas down, and writing becomes easier for students once they have shared their ideas aloud with others. Finally the "What we will share box.. " requires that students collaborate on what they will share with the rest of the class from their discussion.
