 * **Title**: ||< Gioacchini Group Discussion ||
 * **Subject**: ||< Reading & Writing ||
 * **Grade**: ||< 3rd ||
 * **Time Frame**: ||< All year ||
 * **Summary:** ||< The children will learn to manage their own conversation surrounding their reading and writing. They will thread their conversations together with the other children in the class. They will be able to connect their thoughts with their classmates and be able to agree and/or disagree with each other and be able to back up their opinion with text evidence. ||
 * **Tasks**: ||< We have been discussing how to have a conversation and respect each other. We have also been learning how to not speak over each other and be able to listen. We started by reading a book and stopping to think and practice our expectations. ||
 * Objectives: ||< * 3.29A, 3.30 & 3.31 ||
 * Assessment: ||< The student will be assessed by how well they manage their own conversation when a teacher is not facilitating the conversation. ||
 * Resources: ||< Narratives ||
 * **Teacher**
 * Reflections:** || The children are trying it out and they are improving in their conversation skills. The children are getting better at yielding the floor to their classmates, however, I am concerned about the children who are not participating. We have worked in whole group discussing stories and narratives which everyone gets to hear the conversation. We have also worked in pairs mapping a story and I could see some progress in the children who do not participate in whole group. I have done some fishbowling so that the children who understand the process can share their thinking with the class. ||
