Teacher Commentary
Ask students to share what they wrote down with their partner and explain why they thought it was important. Let them know that there is no erasing! Notes are not about the right or wrong answer, the notes serve as a record of their own thinking, which will evolve and change throughout the discussion. If their thinking changes, they can revise what they’ve written by adding new information and an explanation of what changed their thinking. If they like what their partner wrote, they can simply add it. Allow students to share out to the whole class what they wrote down and why, highlighting the thinking around why the note was made and that different students want to remember different parts of the discussion.
