I am teaching students who are REALLY hard to get talking - especially the high schoolers. I told the students that their discussions are the way they build comprehension and also the way we can find "evidence" of their comprehension. So sometimes we tape their discussions when I'm not there. And they can listen to the tape and take notes (and talk about) the comprehension strategies and aha's that they hear. We use the Learning Record portfolio assessment which values anecdotal observations as much as writing and/or other "products" as evidence of learning. It was starting to work this year.....slowly but surely.
