Pre Reading Strategy
THINK – PAIR – SHARE                  

Clock Buddies

Overview:  During a Think-Pair-Share every student becomes an active participant.  It works well as a pre-reading activity, as a problem-solving strategy, as a break in a lecture, or as a follow-up activity.

Steps: 

1.  Teacher begins by suggesting a topic or asking a question.

2.    Students “think” and write down what they know or have learned about a particular topic.

3.    Then have them “pair” with another student or with a small group of students and share their ideas.

4.    Conclude with a whole-class “share” discussion.

5.    Use Think-Pair-Share in place of brainstorming

6.    Use Think-Pair-Share to prepare students for writing
