THINK, PAIR, AND SHARE

Think, Pair, and Share is a cooperative learning among student and her pair. It provide the student time
to think the certain topic given by the teacher, enabling her to formulate ideas in her own and share
these ideas with her pair. After the pairing mode, the teacher will call randomly the student who will
share his or her ideas in the whole class. This learning strategy nurture the students' communication,
collaboration, and listening skills to her classmate. When pairs brainstorm together, each student learns
from their partner. This can help students expand their vocabulary as they learn new words from their
peers and build on their prior knowledge. Additionally, the task given by the teacher at each meeting in
addition to actively engage students in learning process is also intended for the students to always try to
be present every meeting. However, this strategy needed long time in order for the students to talk and
share their own ideas to everyone. When they talk to each other, it will create noise resulting for some
students to not become focus.

In conclusion, think, pair, and share strategy is beneficial in terms of active discussion and responsive
classroom, as well as, improving attendance of the students. On the other hand, this strategy appear to
be time-consuming.

POST IT, PILE IT

The other video is the teacher uses the post it, pile it strategy in her teaching. Each learner has post-it
notes to write their answer about the certain topic ask by their teacher. After, the students will work
independently to record all their ideas/responses on their post-it notes. They will write only one idea
per post-it note, but will write as many different ideas as they can. Then, the first member will share her
idea and place it on the center of a desk. Anyone else in the group who has that same idea in their own
pile of post-it notes then will place their post-it on top of that same idea. The same goes by with other
member or to the other group. At the end, there would be a lot of posted post-it note piled up about
their same ideas in the said certain topic.

This strategy allows for all members of the class to participate and find commonality of their ideas.
Moreover, it will practice the students to be concise on their answers and writing in order to fit in the
small post-it note.

NUMBER HEADS

The third video is about The Numbered Heads. It is one of the cooperative learning strategies that
consist of four steps to successfully do it. The first step: Students Number Off from 1 to 6 or a
teacher cans a assign number to the students in every table group. Next thing is that a teacher
gives a task to the students but there is a limit for it. A teacher let the students to work for
themselves first before sharing it to their classmates. After this step, students put their heads
together or collaborate together so that they than complete the task assign by the teacher. The last
thing that the teacher will do, she will give a number and then whoever the students assign in the
specific number he/she will discuss the tasks assign in the class.

The benefit of this strategy is that each student can use all four language domains – listening,
speaking, reading, and writing –to further academic language development. Using this strategy
in the form described here is essential for making each student accountable for learning while
providing equal opportunity for class participation.

CIRCLE THE SAGE

The Circle the Sage is another cooperative learning strategy for engaging the learners in answering
questions. The teacher will asks question in class, and then asks every student who can answer it to
stand up. All the other students can now choose a classmate and listen to the explanation. The sage
explains what they know while the classmates listen, ask questions, and take notes.

With this strategy it provides learners an opportunity to showcase what they know about a given topic
or question thus promotes student achievement, enhances satisfaction with the learning experience,
helps develop oral communication skills, and promotes self-esteem.
