Heidi @ Mt Hope Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 I've never heard of "think pair share." Am I just living under a rock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorisuewho Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 I was a public school teacher and when she said, she needed someone to think pair share with, I almost died laughing. This was hysterical. Think pair share is when you think about the answer to a question, pair up with a partner, and share your answer with your partner and discuss.

thewaka Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Great (but really sad) video. Girls watched and all just shook their heads and then asked if it was accurate. I am so glad they aren't subject to that kind of stuff (and I hope not many kids are). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTMCassandra Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 No, I hadn't heard of it either. But most hilarious!!! (and somehow sad at the same time) I found it particularly funny since I was a technical writer in an earlier life, and I combined writing, science, and math all the time!!!

KidsHappen Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I watched a couple different ones and they were all great. I would make my dd watch them but I think that the over all message would go right over her head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmom4 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 A public school teacher at ds's gymnastics was telling me all about how wonderful Common Core was. She was praising the idea of reading informational texts and writing from them rather than reading fiction and creative writing. That made me sad for the kids. One of my fondest memories from elementary school was when the teacher read aloud Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing to our entire classroom. Kids won't have that experience any more.

Thanks for sharing! Elise in NC :iagree: Hey, were we in the same class? ;) My 4th grade teacher read that and The BFG aloud to us - it's one of my favorite memories from my elementary schooling as well. The idea of doing away with reading fiction is the most depressing thing I've ever heard! Those poor children. This is exactly why so many people think reading is boring.

Thanks for sharing! Elise in NC If kids do not have the experience of having age appropriate fiction read aloud anymore, it will not be due to the common core. It really is worth visiting the common core website and reading over the scope/sequence and other materials. www.commoncore.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
