Scaffolding in the classroom

I have only had on experience in the classroom so far. But the first thing they do in the morning is listen to two or three students talk about a story they wrote themselves. After reading what they wrote the other students are able to ask questions and comment on the story. This is great way to build language skills and interaction between students. It helps socially behind students get a great opportunity to express themselves and be forced to practice there speaking and communicating skills. The most important part is that the teacher is able to guide positive feedback from student setting the rules ahead of time about what type of questions and comments can be asked. This is just one way that we can build students vocabulary and ability to socially interact.
