Wh...Love the idea of "accountable talk"! What a great way to put it. I love to drop in and listen to student groups at work (which is often in the form of talk in the English classroom). <br /><br />I'll admit that as a student learner, I preferred individual work...but preferring to work by myself does not mean that it was the BEST way for me to learn in every circumstance! We all have kids who say they'd rather work alone, but as teachers, we can find ways to make collaboration a positive, productive experience for them. This is especially true with technology: walls can come down, and a 2nd period student in my class can collaborate with a 4th period student in my partner's class. <br /><br />I appreciate your post!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
