Taking it Further

The results of the Written Conversation (see previous blog) were so good that I wanted to share them to the wider class.  I wasn't sure of the best way to do this - Harvey and ....... suggested taking one comment from each student to celebrate their thinking but I wanted to celebrate all the thinking that had gone on as I was really impressed by it and I thought the whole class would benefit from the thinking of each group.
In the end, I wrote out the first question/thought/idea/comment of each conversation, and posed it to the whole class giving those not in the group a chance to engage with it.  It worked very well and I ended by pinning the questions and the written conversations on our bulletin board for The Great Gatsby.
