Process Directions:

The teacher will provide students with a question or a set of questions.


The teacher will begin by asking the question to the students and having them think about
what they know or the answer to the question.
The student will be paired with another student.
The students will share their thinking with their partners.
The teacher should then expand the sharing into a whole-class discussion.

When/Example

This strategy can be used in all grade level content areas.


I would use this strategy in a math class. I give the students a question in math to have
them solve. They would think independently and solve the problem, find a partner and
then share whether they got the same answer as well as how they solved this.
