Say Something Protocol

Observe the students practicing the “Say Something” protocol. It is evident that this teacher has created a culture that encourages student directed discourse, and has specifically reviewed the norms for “Say Something”. An example of this is demonstrated at the beginning of the video when one student gives a plausible opinion for the observed event and the student’s peers are adding supportive data and elaborating on the original idea. As you continue to watch the video you may notice that the same students are further along in the give and take of collaborative conversations.
