"Meaningful conversation can make learning more personal, immediate, and emotional. During meaningful conversations, students are forced to be accountable for their positions, to listen, to analyze opposing perspectives, and to adapt their thinking on the fly."
Beth Dichter's insight:

Sentence stems are exceptional for helping students process thinking. Sheltered instruction (SIOP) strategies are excellent for helping students understand and make personal meaning of learning. Stems with a targeted purpose can help teachers to use them most purposefully. |

Check out this activity from The Common Core Writing Book by Gretchen Owocki. One of the activities she suggests is using a 3-2-1 strategy to help students summarize text.
