Desk Tags (2 Variations, Same Content)

This resource includes two Accountable Talk Desk Tags. Same content in two variations. The Desk Tags are Accountable Talk “mini posters” that can be printed and nicely taped to the corner of students’ desk so they can reference them all year long. They can refer to these tags for every activity, written and oral! There are two different designs – Colored and B&W.

Accountable Talk Sentence Starter Sheet

The Accountable Talk Sentence Starter Sheet includes discussion stems for 8 Accountable Talk categories: Agreeing, Disagreeing, Using Evidence, Adding On, Clarifying, Questioning, Predicting, and Inferring. Students can keep these sheets in their folders and have access to them where ever they go, especially at home. They can use these discussion starters in their writing and homework assignments as well!

Peer Evaluation Accountable Talk Discussion Rubric (EDITABLE)

This resource includes one Peer Evaluation Rubric in three variations – Same content. Editable versions are included, so you can modify in such a way that meets the needs of your students and instructional plans!

The Peer Evaluation Accountable Talk Discussion Rubric is meant for students to use and asses each other during Classroom Talk. Before beginning a discussion or debate, give each student a Peer Evaluation Rubric with another student’s name on it. (You can decide who will asses who, or you can just randomly write the names on Rubrics). Ask students to “secretly” observe and assess that student’s participation during the class discussion or debate. Students should not know who is assessing who so that evaluations of participation are fair. Throughout the discussion or debate, students will take meaningful notes of their classmates’ discourse/performances. At the end of the discussion or debate, give them 5 minutes to score the student whose name is on their Peer Evaluation Rubric. Finally, students can go up to the person they were observing and hand them the rubric. At the very end, the teacher collects the rubrics for review.

This has worked so well for me! Students were always “on their toes.” Students found it so exciting to be observed by classmates and also observe others. 

2 Group Discussion Rubric/Reflection Sheets (EDITABLE)

This resource also includes two group discussion rubric/reflection sheets where you can either have students 1) evaluate the performance of the group during Accountable Talk/Group Discussions and/or 2) evaluate their own participation during group work/discussions.
