Considering the environment that your students will be learning in. For instance I would have the desks in clusters, to enhance small discussions and I really liked the idea of having a comfortable meeting area, where my students can have large discussions, or they have a comfy place for when I am reading aloud to them. 

2. I also think it is really important as a teacher when instructing your students to show them how to do it instead of telling them, the video showed a great example of this.

The idea of thinking aloud is an interesting idea as well. Usually teachers want their  classroom to be quiet. I think this is a great idea because when students think out loud, they can inspire other students, and can also get answers to their questions from other students as well, which I think is awesome. 

4. Lastly, getting the students to leave ‘tracks’ of what they were thinking or the big idea about what they just read so they can remember what they were reading about when they come back to it. This idea is also really important when teaching them about big ideas. 

While watching this video, the teachers in the video used a lot of sticky notes, which I will definitely be using in my own classroom, and anchor charts which I also think is really interesting as well.
