Chalk Talk is simple.
This brainstorming strategy is a great way to assess prior knowledge or check for student understanding.
What I love most about it, though, is the quiet. It requires no talking.
The students "talk" with the "chalk."
Various students are given chalk (markers) to come to the board and write answers to a question or supporting details based on a certain a topic.
When they finish, they give the chalk (markers) to another student to add more answers or supporting details. Once everyone in the class has come to the board students can go up a second time if they wish. It is like a silent form of class discussion.
(Alternative approach: have students work in groups to write on poster board with markers and rotate through a series of topics or questions.)
