Pro Tip: Laminate generic forms and reuse them with dry-erase markers.

Classroom Discussions

Assess student comprehension, critical thinking skills, and ability to articulate their understanding. Use an Observational Assignment to assign points for participation.

A 3-2-1 pattern is a great conversation starter. Consider using Gradient’s Credit Assignment to award participation points to students.
