Participating in Discussions

Grade 5 discussions on grade 5 topics and texts happen in a range of formats, one-on-one, in groups, or teacher-led, with diverse partners, and doing them well means building on others' ideas while expressing your own clearly. This expects real preparation too: coming to a discussion having already read or studied the required material, and explicitly drawing on that preparation and other topic knowledge to explore the ideas under discussion. Following the agreed-upon rules and carrying out your assigned role, posing and responding to specific questions by making comments that contribute to the discussion and elaborate on the remarks of others, and reviewing the key ideas expressed to draw conclusions in light of the information and knowledge gained from the discussion, round out the skill.
