THINK, PAIR, AND SHARE

Think, Pair, and Share is a cooperative learning activity in which students and their
partners work together. Because the student is allowed to come up with her own ideas
and share them with her partner, this will give the student time to think about a specific
topic assigned by the teacher. Following the pairing mode, the teacher will randomly call
a student to share his or her ideas with the entire class. This learning strategy helps
students improve their communication, collaboration, and listening skills with their
peers. Each student learns from their partner when they exchange ideas in pairs.
Students' vocabulary can develop as they learn new words from their peers and build on
their prior knowledge. Furthermore, the task assigned by the teacher at each meeting is
intended to engage students in the learning process while also encouraging them to
attend every meeting. However, this strategy requires a significant amount of time for
the students to converse and share their ideas with everyone. When they talk to each
other, they make a lot of noise, which causes some students to lose focus.

Therefore, the think, pair, and share strategy promotes active discussion that leads to
responsive classrooms while also increasing student attendance. However, this strategy
appears to be time-consuming.

POST IT, PILE IT

The other video shows a teacher using the post it, pile it strategy in her classroom. Each
learner is given post-it notes on which to write their response to the question posed by
their teacher. Following that, the students will work independently to record all of their
ideas and responses on post-it notes. They will write only one idea per post-it note, but
as many different ideas as they can. The first member will then share her idea and
place it in the center of a desk. Anyone else in the group who has that same idea in
their own pile of post-it notes then places their post-it on top of that same idea. The
same holds true for other members or groups. At the end, there would be a slew of
posted post-it notes piled up with their similar thoughts on the certain topic.

This strategy allows all members of the class to participate and find common ground in
their ideas. Furthermore, it will practice the students' ability to be concise in their
answers and writing in order to fit on the small post-it note.
NUMBERED HEADS

The third video focuses on Numbered Heads. It is one of the cooperative learning
strategies that requires four steps to complete successfully. The first step is for students
to number off from 1 to 6, or for a teacher to assign a number to each table group. The
next step is for a teacher to assign a task to the students, but there is a time limit.
Before sharing their work with their classmates, a teacher allows students to work on it
for themselves first. Following this step, students put their heads together or collaborate
to complete the task assigned by the teacher. The last thing the teacher will do is assign
a number, and then whoever is assigned to that number will discuss the tasks assigned
in class.

The advantage of this strategy is that each student can use all four language domains
to further academic language development: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
Using this strategy in the manner described here is critical for holding each student
accountable for their learning while also providing equal opportunity for class
participation.

CIRCLE OF THE SAGE

Another cooperative learning strategy for engaging learners in answering questions is

the Circle of the Sage. In class, the teacher will ask a question and then call on every
student who can answer it to stand. The remaining students can now select a classmate
and listen to the explanation. While the sage explains what they know, the students
listen, ask questions, and take notes.

This strategy allows students to demonstrate their knowledge of a specific topic or

question. As a result, it promotes student achievement, increases satisfaction with the
learning experience, aids in the development of oral communication skills, and boosts
self-esteem.
