Summary: Small group instruction is important, and it can be used if the students know what they're doing.
Tovani hits on the trials and tribulations of using small group instruction in the classroom. Although it can be a challenge at times, the benefits of small groups can outweigh the odds.
In order to have a more effective time, Tovani gave many helps, such as showing students a discussion model, giving timely feedback, and making the topics interesting, which I plan to do in my own classroom. Doing these three things alone will automatically create a more manageable classroom.
Some emphasis should also be on students' thoughts and what they want to see with the lesson.
