Goals for Productive Discussions and Nine Talk Moves

Goal: Individual students share, expand and clarify their own thinking
1. Time to Think:
Partner Talk
Writing as Think Time
Wait Time
2. Say More:
Can you say more about that? What do you mean by that? Can you give an example?
3. So, Are You Saying?:
So, let me see if Ive got what youre saying. Are you saying? (always leaving space for the original student
to agree or disagree and say more)

Goal: Students listen carefully to one another


4. Who Can Rephrase or Repeat?
Who can repeat what Javon just said or put it into their own words? (After a partner talk) What did your
partner say?

Goal: Students deepen their reasoning


5. Asking for Evidence or Reasoning:
Why do you think that? Whats your evidence? How did you arrive at that conclusion?
Is there anything in the text that made you think that?
6. Challenge or Counterexample:
Does it always work that way? How does that idea square with Sonias example?
What if it had been a copper cube instead?

Goal: Students think with others


7. Agree/Disagree and Why?:
Do you agree/disagree? (And why?) Are you saying the same thing as Jelya or something different, and
if its different, how is it different? What do people think about what Vannia said?
Does anyone want to respond to that idea?
8. Add On:
Who can add onto the idea that Jamal is building?
Can anyone take that suggestion and push it a little further?
9. Explaining What Someone Else Means:
Who can explain what Aisha means when she says that? Who thinks they could explain in their words why
Simon came up with that answer? Why do you think he said that?
