How do teachers get started using these moves?

What are talk moves?
-Cathy O'Connor

Why do you think that?

Teacher asks students to explain how or why they came to their position.

- Move can also referred to as "press for reasoning."

- Pressing can include asking why, requiring evidence, citing text, questioning methods, etc.

- There are many variations of this move.

- Ultimate goal is to open a student's reasoning process to the rest of the class so that others can learn and respond.
