Today students did some of the most exciting work I've seen them do all year long! We've been working hard on our argument pieces, and students have developed their claims. We are almost ready to begin drafting. In my experience some of the most powerful work that students do is when they converse and challenge one another.
Today, students took their claims and placed them on a continuum to uncover what work is yet to be done to enhance their ideas. It was amazing to watch ideas float around between peers. They had respectful, constructive conversations. After the activity, 100% of students said that they got advice from a peer that will change how they go about revising their claim. It was great work!
Enjoy a clip of some of the outstanding conversations that our students had!
