Cover graphic: Discussion Builders Poster, 2-3
Discussion Builders Poster, 2-3




By talking to learn, students who engage in successful classroom discussions can better express ideas, raise questions, develop keen listening skills, and expand on challenging subject matter. The grades 2-3 Discussion Builders poster and teaching guide are designed to cultivate a respectful community of learners where the goal is to develop shared understandings. Sentence stems on the poster provide students with a scaffold for voicing their ideas and questions, valuing others’ contributions, and thinking creatively. The poster is a powerful tool for helping students – including English language learners – present, expand, and reason about important ideas. A teaching guide includes tasks and blackline masters for introducing and sustaining the use of Discussion Builders in any subject area.


This poster is one in a set of three: K-1, 2-3, and 4-8. As a set, the Discussion Builders posters and teaching guides scaffold progressively more sophisticated language and reasoning across the grades. Posters can be ordered individually, as a set, and at bulk discount rates.
