Show and Tell Cont. Description of practices- Show and Tell enables students to use playful, purposeful, and planned talk while sharing an item or experience with their peers. Delivery Models- Show and Tell can be done whole group, in small groups, and individually. Whole group delivery would involve one student sharing with the class. Small groups can be done in a co-taught classroom where both teachers are able to have small Show and Tell sessions. Students can also share individually with just the teacher
