incorporating poetry
I really love this idea of incorporating poetry into our science lessons. This lesson gives one specific example with a poem on Leonardo DaVinci. They use this idea of "take 5", meaning they use 5 steps to incorporate the poem. I think that this is a great idea. It is a great way to incorporate literacy standards in your science lesson. If you take this example, you can easily incorporate it into your own science lessons for any topic.

talk moves
This article is filled with good talk move ideas and why we use them. If you are looking for a quick read with organized information, I would recommend this article. Talk moves are not only to benefit discussion, but the individual students as well. It helps the students to practice reflecting, listening to others, and use reasoning. Some of the talk moves that are mentioned in the article are revoicing, apply reasoning, and wait time. The author gives good explanations of what these mean and how to use them. This is a very beneficial article to read.

Encourage curiosity
This article really defines the importance of student led questions. In order for students to truly engage in what they are learning, they need to be curious about the topic. The role of teachers is to get them engaged and curios about what they are learning. From there students will start asking their own questions and then they will want to engage in finding the answers. When students come up with their own questions, they are more likely to want to discover the answers becuase they are the ones who are wondering. I really love how the author explains the importance of student generated questions, and it really pushed me to see the importance.
