Answer to Question 1

Learn to use talk for different purposes; respond to literature, writing, projects, and learning; promotes thinking. Characteristics - group, purpose, strategy use, student roles, ownership, teacher's role

Answer to Question 2

Grand - literature focus units and literature circles; picture book or novel; write in reading log prior to conversation; talk focuses on personal response; write in reading logs after conversation; open-ended; use aesthetic talk (social language). Instructional - thematic units; informational book or content-area book; complete graphic organizer prior to conversation; talk focuses on big ideas from thematic learning; record big ideas in learning logs after conversation; use efferent talk (academic language). Both - teacher as facilitator; use small group conversations before whole group conversations; students have opportunity to express ideas in writing before sharing. Scenarios will vary by student
