Case Study
Students are talking while others are talking or teaching.

Case Study
Green: State creative ideas from seeing the problem in a new light The teacher will be more aware of the time she talks The teacher will include more students Students will reflect on whether their comments are on topic Students will think about whether their comments interfere with others The 6 Hats chart will stay up so we can remember these ideas.
Blue: State a summary of what was learned The teacher will limit the amount of time she uses talking teaching. The teacher will involve all students in the discussion. The teacher will allow for think time. Students now realize they make others feel foolish and unappreciated when they talk over them. Students realize that getting a laugh compromises the learning of others. Students learned that speaking whenever they want shows a lack of self-discipline.
