Think-Pair-Share Activities (Updated)

Think-Pair-Share is a core activity in my classroom, which is why I prioritize practicing the process with my students.

I want them to have a clear understanding of expectations: they must think and write their thoughts, discuss (pair) with a partner, and share with the class.

Below, you’ll find an introductory video and activity, followed by additional practice exercises to reinforce the process.
