WHAT IS COOPERATIVE LEARNING?

What does cooperative learning look like?Students are working in teams that display:

P- Positive Interdependence (on the same side, same goals)

I- Individual Accountability (student’s can’t hide)

E- Equal participation (equal status)

S- Simultaneous Interaction (engagement)

TALKING CHIPS & SHOWDOWN

Cooperative Structures

Talking Chips

After students have learned sufficient language patterns and vocabulary to hold a purposeful conversation about the topic at hand, Talking Chips support democratic and accountable participation in small group interactions.

Students place their chip in the center each time they talk; they cannot speak again until all chips are in the center and collected.

Distribute a set number of Talking Chips to each student in the group.

Each group member must “spend” his or her Talking

Chips during the collaborative session.

This helps teachers monitor student interaction and ensure all group members have equal opportunity to share their thinking while enhancing communication skills.

Implementation

LET’S GIVE IT A TRY..

1) Share 1 interesting thing which you have done during the 1 week September break.

Cooperative Structures

Talking Chips - VariantGambit Chips: Like Talking Chips but chips contain gambits

(things to say or do): For examples, Affirmation Chips contain praisers; Paraphrase Chips contain gambits for paraphrasing.

Response Mode Chips: Like Talking Chips but chips contain response modes: For examples, Summarizing, Giving an Idea, Praising an Idea.

LET’S GIVE IT A TRY..

1) After listening to your group sharing,use the gambits or response chips toseek clarification or paraphrase what your friends have said.

SHOWDOWN

It increases active engagement No one student can do all the work Contribution by all is required

In Showdown, each student does each problem on their own before receiving help. When “Showdown!” is called, each student shows teammates their work, and they begin the process of checking, coaching, and celebrating.

BENEFITS

USING CARDS OR TEACHER-LED QUESTIONS

Students can use whiteboards instead of sticky notes to write down their individual answers.

The teacher can call out one question at a time for all students to answer.

This is a great way to use Showdown as formative assessment during a lesson.

This activity can be differentiated by giving groups ofstudents different sets of cards at different levels of difficulty works great for stations.

LET’S GIVE IT A TRY

1) Jot down the names of 5 ASEAN countries.
