THINK – PAIR – SHARE
• Building individual accountability and contribution
• Pose discussion question or case study scenario
• First students brainstorm individually
• Pair into small groups (2 -6) and expand (writable walls)
• Each group reaches a consensus on best approach
• Share as a class
CLOSING SUMMARY
•Determine whether students grasped
key concepts
•Students write a short closing or “exit
summary” of the lesson’s main ideas
•Create on laptops
•Share on screens or Monitors in ALCs
•Optionally collect for instructor to
review and address misconceptions at
the next class
WRITE AROUND THE ROOM
• Peer Learning: Students build upon one another’s
knowledge
• Each group moves to a station
• Brainstorm and write responses
• Rotate stations

repeat answers consistent with their list
