Chalk Talk for Youth Engagement
Chalk Talk is a way to get everyone in a group participating - to reflect on complex issues or questions, generate ideas, check on learning, develop projects or solve problems. The slower calmer dynamic of Chalk Talk can change the atmosphere in a room as it allows for thoughtfulness with no competition for air time. It is a chance for slower processors to contribute. Chalk talk can be used productively with any group - as long as they can write or even draw. Chalk Talk is a fun and novel activity to engage, motivate and spark interest.
