Lesson 1
Introduction to Student Discourse Content
The video and article will provide you with an understanding of what discourse looks like in the classroom and some simple ways of implementing it and keeping your students engaged. The course also includes some "Reflect or Discuss" prompts to help you connect with the course content and ends with a "Try This Task" to guide you explicitly on how you might implement the ideas into the classroom.
Quiz
You will answer questions related to student discourse. Quizzes are automatically scored and provide feedback on answer choice rationale.
Implementation Reflection
