During this activity students will listen to a portion of the text and draw a question card. Students will generate a question based on the question word on the card and the portion of the text they have heard. Another student will use the knowledge from the text to answer the question. This activity can be modified so students are listening to the text.
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.
