In the roll & chat strategy, students are given a worksheet, containing images of dice 1-6, and questions that correspond with each number on the dice. Students will begin this activity by completing a reading assignment, either individually, with a partner, in a small group, or as whole group instruction. Once the students have completed reading, have students gather their materials for this activity. These may include the die, the corresponding worksheet, and a pencil and paper. Depending on which route you decide to go with this activity, students may work in pairs or individually. If students are working individually, have them write their answers on a separate worksheet. Students will be instructed and given an example of how to use this activity. They will begin with rolling the die and answering the question on the worksheet that corresponds with the number they have rolled. If students are working in pairs for this activity, then they are to take turns rolling the die and answering the questions. Melissa with The Reading Roundup tell us that, “Dice games allow students to respond to the text in a more engaging way!” (Melissa, 2019). This has been proved in all of the classrooms that I have worked in over the last few years. Students enjoy working with hands-on manipulatives because it gives the students a break from their typical reading and writing and gives them a chance to have meaningful, academic conversations with their peers regarding what they have been reading. While the students are working on this activity, the teacher should be circulating around the classroom and checking in with students.
