It’s not MAGIC!
Accountable Talk in the classroom does not happen instantly.
Students need to be trained to listen to each other and UNTRAINED regarding raising their hands when they wish to speakIt’s ok to start small – “Turn and Talk” then Small Groups and finally – Whole Class DiscussionThe more explicit you are about what Accountable Talk means and your expectations – the easier it is for your students.Slide6

Friends With Numbers
They are not hard to get to know:
6 and 9 keep changing their minds,
8 cuts the most graceful figure
but sleeps for an eternity,
and 7, lucky 7 takes
an arrow to his heart always.
5, halfway to somewhere, only
wants to patch his unicycle
tire, and 4, who’d like to stand for
something solid, has never had
two feet on the ground, yet flutters
gamely in the breeze like a flag.
3, for all his literary
accomplishments and pretensions
to immortality, is still
(I can tell you) not half the man
8 is asleep or awake. 1,little 1. I know him betterthan all the others, these numberswho are all my friends. Only 2,that strange smallest prime, can I countas just a passing acquaintance.Divisible by only 1and herself, she seems on the verge,yet, of always coming apart. And though she eludes me, swanlike, though I’d love to know her better,still I am fine, there are others,many, I have friends in numbers
