Visible Thinking - "No Hogs, No Logs"

One of the keys phrases for a classroom of THINKERS is "No Hogs, No Logs."  This is a great way to encourage your students to listen to the ideas and opinions of others but to also share their ideas and opinions.  A HOG is someone who does all of the talking in a small group or partner sharing time.  A LOG is someone who just sits and gives no input.  You can see that it takes a great balance of both to be a good listening and sharing partner.  You can get the free poster for your classroom here.
