💻 How to Use
Download and open in PowerPoint (not Google Slides).
Click “Slide Show” to begin.
From the Home/Index slide, choose the mini-lesson or a conversation topic.
Assign Partner 1 and Partner 2.
Partner 1 clicks a speech bubble:
If it’s a driver, the conversation continues!
If it’s a stopper, a feedback slide explains why — then students “Try Again.”
 
Continue for four conversational turns per topic.
Reflect together:
Which responses helped the conversation continue?
When is it okay to use a stopper?
How did each choice make your partner feel?
 
💡 Tip: Model driver/stopper examples before independent practice.
