1. Slides Lesson 2A Get in Line! y=mx

2. Paired Verbal Fluency Partner B Partner A
This is a disciplinary literacy strategy that supports student learning through productive dialogue. It will be used to help students reflect on the linear data experiments from Days 1 & 2 and serve as a bridge for learning on Days 3 & 4.

3. Paired Verbal Fluency A ~ B ~ A 15s ~ 30s ~ 45s Partner B Partner A
Students need to pair up. One is A and the other is B. The following slide about Batman and Superman may be used to demonstrate how the strategy works. You’ll need 2 volunteers who don’t mind talking in front of the class.

4. Paired Verbal Fluency
Explain whether you think Superman or Batman is the better superhero.
Be sure to tell why you think so.
Partner A
Partner B
Time the partners. In this example:
Partner A speaks about the prompt for 15 seconds.
At the end of 15 seconds, call “Switch!”
Partner B speaks about the prompt for 30 seconds, trying to add to the dialogue without repeating anything Partner A already said.
At the end of 30 seconds, call “Switch!”
Partner A finishes the round and speaks about the prompt for 45 seconds. Again, Partner A tries to add to the dialogue without repeating anything that has already been said.
At the end of 45 seconds, call “Switch!”

5. FUNNY HOW SO MANY PEOPLE ASSUME SUPERMAN COULD EASILY BEAT ME BASED ON THE FACT THAT I ONLY HAVE MONEY, TECHNOLOGY, BRAINS AND NO SUPERPOWERS.
Just for fun…

BUT…
SUPERMAN’S LONG TIME ARCH NEMESIS IS LEX LUTHOR.
A MAN WHO ONLY HAS MONEY, TECHNOLOGY, BRAINS AND
NO SUPERPOWERS.

Answer any questions students have about using the strategy.

8. Paired Verbal Fluency 2 rounds Partner B Partner A 1st: A ~ B ~ A
15s ~ 30s ~ 45s
2nd: B ~ A ~ B
Partner A
Partner B
Explain to students that there will be two rounds. Each will have a prompt. Each time, both students will have time to talk about the prompt.
Round 1:
A ~ B ~ A
15s ~ 30s ~ 45s
Round 2:
B ~ A ~ B

9. Paired Verbal Fluency Round 1: A ~ B ~ A 15s ~ 30s ~ 45s Partner B
Partner A
Partner B
Round 1:
A ~ B ~ A
15s ~ 30s ~ 45s

10. Think about the experiments you completed.
What did you learn from doing them?

11. Paired Verbal Fluency Round 2: B ~ A ~ B 15s ~ 30s ~ 45s Partner B
Partner A
Partner B
Round 2:
B ~ A ~ B
15s ~ 30s ~ 45s

12. Think about the experiments you completed.
How did the graphs help you better understand the data?
