By: Sue Beddall: Year 4 Teacher Sometimes when I ask my eight-year-olds for their ideas or opinions they are too shy, or is it lazy, to put up their hand and offer their thoughts. In this situation now I say, “O.K. tell the person next to you what you think.”, and allow 30 seconds to 1 minute, then call their attention back to me. There will be a noisy buzz while they exchange views, but the result when you ask for their opinions again is worth it. As they have already told one person and not been laughed at, they will be more inclined to tell the whole class. If I want answers particularly from very shy people I may say, now tell me - not what you think - but what your partner said. This way each class member must get an idea from their partner, and this makes them more likely to agree to swap in case teacher asks them!
