This partner routine allows learners to verbalise their thinking and learning to a peer as well as allowing them to hear the learning of others. This resource can be used in any lesson or subject area. In telling your neighbour learners are first given a problem to solve. They have a set amount of time to solve the problem. This depends on the problem or task of course. Then learners are given time to think about how they solved the problem. They can do this by drawing/diagram writing or thinking in their heads. This is silent time. Then learners turn to their neighbour and tell them their answer and how they solved the problem. This resource consists of: A reference guide that explains the purpose, steps for implementation of the routine as well as identified Universal Design for Learning Guidelines that the routine supports. A slide that can be modified to add your task.
