During this activity, students brainstorm what they know about a given topic. After engaging with text, they revisit their brainstorm and identify words, ideas, etc. that were used in the text.
In this activity students will evaluate their understanding of a text they have heard. If students are having difficulty with understanding they will choose a “fix up” strategy.
This resource includes information on how to use think-alouds as an instructional strategy, as well as a planning guide to support practitioners as they plan lessons to include think-alouds.
In this activity students will categorize words based on their meaning. To modify this activity the teacher can create the categories along with the vocabulary words.
