Establish the responses you expect the students to make. Model these with the students and discuss them. Write out sentence starters to act as a speaking frame. You may also include a small word bank. You may need to create more than one of these frames, each one offering different levels of support.
Description
Speaking frames are a type of sentence frame that provides sentence starters and models for English language learners who may not have sufficient knowledge of standard sentence structure to be able to create sentences independently. They are a support, which should gradually be withdrawn eg. "The ________ lives in a _______."

Think, Pair, Share is a way of providing increased wait time so that students have time to think before they speak or write. It also provides opportunities for repetition and for practising and polishing language. This strategy is very easy to use and takes no preparation and it can be used across all learning areas.
The students first work individually writing down their ideas. Next they share their ideas with a partner and then with a larger group or whole class. It is important that students need to be able to share their partner’s ideas as well as their own.
The 'wait or think' time that is part of Think, Pair, Share has been demonstrated to be a powerful factor in improving student responses to questions.
