How do teachers get started using these moves?

What are talk moves?
-Cathy O'Connor

Agree/Disagree

Teacher asks student whether they agree or disagree with a comment, then also asks why.

- It is important to add the "why" when using this move.

- The yes or no question of "Do you agree or disagree?" is a good start point to engage students in the deeper thinking of "why?"

- Effective move to control and encourage close attention to classmates' contributions (even in graduate school!).
