S/he can then model making predictions and reflecting on key components as the students work through the text. -Marcia

This serves as guidance and helps them work in their ZPD. ]]> 2017-08-02 18:49:26 UTC https://padlet.com/alisonpattern/31ag0y99waie/wish/179972411 Reciprocal Teaching https://padlet.com/alisonpattern/31ag0y99waie/wish/180041664 Reciprocal Teaching is used to students ability to learn from text and through practice.

They pair up and discuss their ideas together, and this discussion is what really helps solidify the ideas as well as massage out the kinks of misconception. They then share the thoughts of the group and discuss as a class, leading (ideally) to deepened understanding.

Kahoot! is a versatile tool that good ole Kristin DeWit could have used to good effect in her whole brain math class!
