In the classroom, you want every student to be an active participant. 
That means more than getting everyone to speak up when they're called 
on. For Buffy Hamilton, author of The Unquiet Librarian 
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=info@swonlibraries.org&job=2105016&ymlink=4180805&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Ftheunquietlibrarian%2Ewordpress%2Ecom%2F> 
blog, the library has become a place to facilitate a more inclusive and 
energetic form of classroom conversation.

She is using /written conversation strategies/, an approach learned from 
the Harvey Daniels book, *The Best-Kept Teaching Secret: How Written 
Conversations Engage Kids, Activate Learning, Grow Fluent Writers . . . 
K-12 
<http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=info@swonlibraries.org&job=2105016&ymlink=4180805&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Ecorwin%2Ecom%2Fbooks%2FBook239764>*. 
Tables are set up around the room that are covered with butcher paper. 
At each table is a conversation prompt: an excerpt from an article, or a 
quotation, or a provocative question related to the overall discussion.

Before any discussion takes place, students are asked to travel the room 
and write a response at each table. Responses can take many forms, 
including answers to questions, reframing statements, and asking new 
questions. As student responses appear, students naturally begin to 
respond to each other as well.

This round of silent writing might be followed by other activities, as 
well. By the end of this, they've built up background knowledge by 
reading the sources at the table. They've written out their ideas and 
built up new ideas by reading responses from other students. When it's 
time to speak, they're ready.

We wanted to hear more about this classroom facilitation that Buffy has 
brought to her school library, so we asked her to join us for the next 
Innovation Conversation

held next Wednesday (October 21) at 10:30 a.m.

We hope you'll join us also to hear more about the way written 
conversation strategies work
