The Curriculum Corner: Teaching with FOCUS, Part 5
- Discussion/Debate
- Drawing inferences/conclusions
- Resolving conflicting views/documents
- Problem solving/synthesizing
As you plan for purposeful talk and reading response prompts consider what each of these points would like like through the lens of different content areas and through our 3 schoolwide essential questions. How would you scaffold and model this type of thinking/writing for students across grade levels? How does this impact text selection/planning...and what texts are we already utilizing that support this? Thank you for a fantastic week & don't forget to share your reflections via social media, email or during our coaching block this upcoming week!
