Purposes of talk
Pupils work best when they appreciate that there is a serious learning purpose for their talking. The 6 purposes are:
- Talk to engage: brainstorming; review of existing knowledge
- Exploratory talk: small group collaboration
- Talk to extend understanding: to explain and justify
- Talk to express learning: presenting final outcomes
- Talk to evaluate learning: plenary
- Talk as the ‘end product’.
