How to Use
- Print & prep. Print on cardstock, cut along the borders, and laminate if you want them to last the whole year.
- Pick a routine. One card for morning meeting, a set at a discussion center, or a card per table for small-group talk.
- Structure the talk. Give pairs two minutes per card, then have each pair share one insight with the class.
- Extend into writing. Use the matching recording sheet or the full set's writing prompts to turn talk into assessment.
