How to use this Classroom Discussion Strategy:
This classroom discussion strategy will encourage your students to lead meaningful discussions independently. It also provides tools for you to offer qualitative and quantitative assessment feedback to your students.
This discussion outline includes over 40 sentence stems to scaffold participation in academic discussions. Students can use the assessment guidelines provided with this resource to evaluate the quality of their contributions.
The assessment guidelines included with this resource provide students with a “contribution key.” This graphic organizer categorizes different types of responses that students can make in a classroom discussion, including “opinions,” “questions,” “quotes from the text,” “connections to history,” etc. Additionally, this key includes participation cues that encourage students to invite one another to contribute, offer clarification, answer questions, etc.
This contribution key assigns different values for different contributions based on their level of complexity. Students can therefore determine what types of responses they should aim for in order to improve their participation.
To assess classroom discussions, a data tracking template has been provided. You can use this template to offer qualitative and quantitative feedback to your students. Using the short codes provided within the contribution key, this data tracking template allows you to track both the quality and quantity of each student’s participation in a group discussion. This data tracking template is formatted for Google Sheets®, Microsoft Excel®, and paper-based learning.
A graded data tracking template has also been provided. This example can be used to model assessment expectations to your students. This sheet is annotated to explain the grading process further.
To assign a final grade, a grading scale rubric has also been included.
Finally, a demonstration video showing how I use these resources has also been provided. These video instructions will guide you through these materials and how to best implement them with your students.

This should be really helpful for the beginning of the year and all year for my students who are reluctant to share. I especially like the question stems as models for appropriate commentary.

Holy smokes! This is such a rich resource. I LOVE the contribution key! I never thought to track the types of comments my students were making and now I think I'll never stop. It provided so much good data for me to use and helped me create stronger groups of students that each naturally contribute in different ways. Thank you!
