Things to Say
1. Moves in Group Discussion Marking: “That’s an important point.” Challenge: “What do YOU think?” (turn it back) Modeling: “Here’s what good readers do.” Recapping: “What have we discovered?”
2. Moves that Support Accountability to the Learning Community
Keep channels open: “Did everyone hear that?” Keep everyone together: “Who can repeat . . . ?” Linking contribution: “Who wants to add
on . . . ?” Verifying and clarifying: “So, are you
saying . . . ?’
3. Moves that Support Accountability to Accurate KnowledgePressing for accuracy: “Where can we find that?”Building on Prior Knowledge: “How does this connect?”
4. Moves that Support Accountability to Rigorous ThinkingPressing for reasoning: “Why do you think that?”Expanding reasoning: “Take your time; say more.”

Connect – Extend – ChallengePage 132
Can you connect this to anything you already know from your teaching experience?
In work-alike teams, talk among yourselves to extend your thinking about how to use accountable talk in your
classroom.
Now, discuss the challenges you see may arise in using accountable talk.
Zoom InZoom Inpage 71page 71
• Zoom In is one way of introducing a topic using portions of a photograph or picture to
draw student thinking out. It uses description, inference and interpretation as an APK at the start of a lesson or to further
explore ideas.
Example Zoom InExample Zoom In• What do you see?• What does it remind you of?
• What new things do you see?• What word or phrase would you use to describe
the image?
• How does this image change your hypothesis about what is going on?
• When, where or what is this piece of art about? Does it remind you of anything?
The Twittering Machine by Paul Klee, 1922Art does not reproduce the visible, rather it makes visible.
Paul Klee
Now that the students can see the whole image, further connections to
the material can be made.
For example, what did Klee mean by The Twittering Machine?
Is it about industrialization? Music?
The caged bird? What does “twitter” mean to us today?
Applicable to MathApplicable to Math• How is this image applicable to math?• What shape do you see?• Can you equate the shape to any shape or form
in the real world?
• What other informationdoes this view give you? How do the surfacesgive off a mathematicalQuality?
• Can you tell now what the artist is trying to convey?
Does this new information change your perception?
• Picasso’s Cubistpainting Still LifeWith Bread
Cubism: 20th c. art form in which objects are renderedin geometric shapes.
What shapes can you see?What equations can we useto analyze the shapes?
BREAK
TIME!Meet in the computer lab after break.
How to Create a Zoom How to Create a Zoom InIn
• Choose your painting or photo• In Microsoft Paint or other editing program
crop each piece of the painting, one at a time, and save under a different name (1, 2, 3, etc.)
• Create your power point, adding various pieces to the screen where they would naturally fall in the painting to build interest and cognition
• Show the final work and discuss further

STEP INSIDEPage 178
Set Up: Think about the text you just read, the video we watched, the words you heard, and the images. Pick a person or thing that was present at Lincoln’s delivery of The Gettysburg Address. You are going to “Step Inside” that perspective.
Ask: What can this person or thing see, observe, or notice?What might the person or thing know about, understand, or believe?What might the person or thing care about?What might the person or thing wonder about or question?
Share:In “like” groups.Then to whole group.
