Pass-the-Reflection

=Back=

Have students write their thoughts on a give topic for two minutes. When this time is up, have students pass their papers to one another (this can be done in small groups or as a whole class). Each student receives someone else's quickwrite, reads the initial thinking, and then has two minutes to continue writing on the topic. The process is repeated until each student has responded to a number of papers. This activity encourages students to extend their thinking through both the written responses they produce and through the written responses they read. (Gallagher)
