Q1On a gallery walk about a local fair, learners leave yellow question postcards with one handwritten question under each poster and then take a second round to read other questions. After the first round, they must rewrite one question that became sharper. What is the walk mainly helping them do?
The gallery walk lets learners move around, compare posters and ask fresh questions. That widens classroom thinking.
Q2Assertion: Blue speaker cards are useful only when the class is noisy. Reason: In Social Studies, cards can help quieter learners join a source discussion and keep turns fair. The cards are passed around before and after speaking.
Talk chips are not limited to noisy classes. In Social Studies they can help quieter learners join in and keep participation fair while a source is discussed.
Q3During a Social Studies discussion on a village pond drying up, the teacher gives every learner a reason-starter strip that begins with because the pond dried up after ... and asks them to finish it before speaking. The strip ends with a blank space for one cause and one effect. What is this mainly developing?
Beginning with because pushes learners to state a cause, not just a bare opinion. That supports reasoning in Social Studies.
Q4Consider the following statements about productive Social Studies discourse: I. Learners should listen carefully to what others say. II. Learners can build on one another's ideas during discussion. III. A good discussion is one where only the teacher speaks throughout. IV. Learners should give reasons or examples to support their points. Which statements are correct?
Productive discourse needs listening, building on others' ideas, and using reasons. It is not productive when only the teacher or only one learner dominates the talk.

A timeline helps learners notice sequence, a map comparison helps them study space, a survey helps them find a pattern in responses, and a debate helps them explore more than one viewpoint.
