Produktbeschreibung

In small groups, we are smarter. In well-structured groups, we leverage each other's thinking. We learn more not just because we all bring different pieces of the puzzle, but because, through talk, we can actually make new and better meaning together. --Stephanie Harvey and Harvey "Smokey" Daniels Read the Viewer's Guide. This much-anticipated DVD companion to Stephanie Harvey and Harvey "Smokey" Daniels' best-selling book, Comprehension & Collaboration: Inquiry Circles in Action, uses compelling video footage to show inquiry circles in action in primary and intermediate classrooms.
