She asked the question, “What is the most interesting fact that you learned about spiders?” Instead of just calling on a few students to answer this question, first she had all the students think about their answer. Then she asked the students facing the clock to share their answer with their face partner. After that she had the students facing the window to share their answer with their face partner. Lastly, she called on a few students to share the fact about spiders that they found most interesting with the class. I actually used this strategy in my lesson that I taught as well and it is fun to see the entire class engaged in a discussion. This gives all the students a chance to share their ideas and not just the few that the teacher may choose to call on. I must admit that at times I am completely amazed at the intelligent answers that the students come up with. Children never cease to amaze
