What are Clock Buddies and why should you start using them?Clock Buddies are a fast way to create cooperative pairs for reviewing and discussing of new learning. Clock buddies are a dynamic version of Turn and Talk or Buddy Buzzing.
CLOCK PARTNERS: Clock "buddies" Friends is a fast way to
create cooperative discussion pairs for quick shared learning activities. Students need to learn the skills of active listening, generating HOT questions, asking effective questions, engaging in academic dialogue and collaboration. One simple way to get students up and moving and encourage active engagement in discussions for all students is to use Clock Partners.
Procedures
1. Partners are chosen by giving each student a clock handout with a blank line next to each hour. After passing out the clock handout, ask students to write their name in the center of the clock.
2. Each student mingles with classmates finding 4-8-12 discussion buddies or collaboration partners. Have each student find a buddy and ask them to write their names on the hours of the clock. Students should have a mixed group of buddies, boys discussing with girls and vice versa. The total amount of time slots depends on the class size or follow-up groups, the teacher determines how many time slots are used. My rules: Students cannot use the same buddy twice, select a buddy that gets them into trouble, and all hours must be filled in.
The Clocks Partner sheets can be placed in the students Socratic Seminar Binders and, or placed in their Response to Literature Journals. This is used anytime the teacher wants students engaged in a quick Socratic discussion.
When the teacher calls “5 o'clock buddy” students needs to quickly find their discussion partner. Students look at their clock partner sheet, find the 5 o’clock name and quickly join their partners in 10-20 seconds or less. This only works when students practice and model the transition, turning it into a game of speed. The procedures and Socratic discussion strategies are set up with modeled repeated practice. The Students or Teacher asks a HOT question stem, students have 2-3 minutes to discuss the ideas.

“Pathetic fallacy: is a tier 3 academic word found in Reading Assessments” The phrase pathetic fallacy is a literary term for the attributing of human emotion and conduct to all aspects within nature. It is a kind of personification that is found in poetic writing when, for example, clouds seem sullen, when leaves dance, or when rocks seem indifferent.
