Unit 1: Read All About It

Activity 3:  During Reading (GLEs:  02, 03, 05a, 07, 08, 09, 14b, 14d, 14e, 19e)

CC:  Teachers model, coach, and apply the strategies, focusing on only one at a time. They use  "thinking aloud" to model for students how to make predictions, read and verify, ask questions and read to confirm, activate prior knowledge, and make connections while reading. The teacher uses metacognitive strategies that involve talking frequently about their own thoughts about the story and asking students to express their thoughts before, during, and after reading. Students identify new words and locate their meanings in various reference aids. They point out examples of foreshadowing, where the author might give a clue that hints at what might happen next.
