These conversation starters stress the importance of active listening and student discourse, and can be used in any content area. The cards provide three ways for students to participate in a conversation by adding on to what someone said (Bounce), summarizing or paraphrasing to add clarity (Sum It Up), or asking questions (Inquire). For Spanish-speaking students, we have provided the bounce card template on page 3. For other L1s, use the blank card template on page 4.
