7SL-Comprehension+&+Collaboration

SL.7.1. Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 7 topics, texts, and issues, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly. a. Come to discussions prepared, having read or researched material under study; explicitly draw on that preparation by referring to evidence on the topic, text, or issue to probe and reflect on ideas under discussion. b. Follow rules for collegial discussions, track progress toward specific goals and deadlines, and define individual roles as needed. c. Pose questions that elicit elaboration and respond to others’ questions and comments with relevant observations and ideas that bring the discussion back on topic as needed. d. Acknowledge new information expressed by others and, when warranted, modify their own views. SL.7.2. Analyze the main ideas and supporting details presented in diverse media and formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) and explain how the ideas clarify a topic, text, or issue under study. SL.7.3. Delineate a speaker’s argument and specific claims, evaluating the soundness of the reasoning and the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence. || ===‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍**Anchor Standard/Mathematical Practice(s)**=== 1.

 * Standard SL.7.1**
 * Students in seventh grade will band together in groups in an effort to collaborate and 'bounce ideas' off one another in order to build on others’ ideas and bring their own thinking to light
 * Students will probe for deeper meanings beneath the topic, text, or issue.
 * Students should be monitoring their progress, asking and answering pointed questions that require participants to explain their responses, and finally they should reflect on and re-evaluate their initial belief or stance.
 * Standard SL.7.2**
 * Seventh grade students are exposed to information through various types of media and format. From this information, they learn to extract the main idea and the details used to support it. This skill requires students to synthesize the information, sorting between the main points and smaller details that work to support the main points.
 * Standard SL.7.3**
 * Evaluate a speaker’s argument to distinguish between solid, supportive evidence and weaker details that do not support the claim.
 * Analyze debates withing the classroom; they must observe and follow claims, facts, and evidence presented as support to the speaker’s argument.
 * Does the evidence actually support the argument? Is there enough evidence to support the claim?
