Abstract: In this clip from a history lesson students aged 13-14 (all boys) are building on each other’s ideas, and also on their knowledge and experiences from previous lessons. They are creating a joint picture by each adding an element in turn – this is a nonverbal kind of dialogue that creates a class product. Here the resulting diagram depicted an imaginative range of elements perceived by students to be typically present in a trench during Word War I, and it succinctly portrayed more than was actually said while drawing. It contained elements arising from the pair/class dialogue of their previous two lessons on trench warfare, “building on their informed speculation from some of the things that they had seen” (teacher).

This footage was collected during the IWBs and Dialogic Teaching research study funded by the UK Economic and Social Research Council (ref. RES-063-27-0081) as part of a personal Research Fellowship carried out by Sara Hennessy during 2007-10.
