Speak Up: Using Structured Academic Discussion to Analyze Primary Sources

The purpose of this presentation is to share a protocol that I created with the help of our site Instruction Coach.  In our research about English Learner and Long-Term English Learners, we saw that one primary gap is in the area of speaking.  Based on classroom observations, we developed a discussion model to support academic speaking in history classes.  This model integrates reading, writing, thinking, and speaking about history and primary source documents
