Clock Buddies
LINK

Overview:  During a Think-Pair-Share (Kagan, 1989) 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.  

The CLOCK Buddies is just one idea for getting students into different groups for cooperative activities.

LINK is a variation on the T-P-S or the brainstorming strategy.

Steps for the Think Pair Share: 

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 written 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
