So reading it to them and thinking of the meaning. In ELA, I like to read articles with students and then asking them questions about background knowledge and/or explaining the background of the information to them in order for them to better understand. https://padlet.com/jratzlaff2/x3vw8g656ce63vja/wish/2389045464

Kids have seen me do it enough that next time I could try having students lead the examples and go over their thinking instead. https://padlet.com/jratzlaff2/x3vw8g656ce63vja/wish/2389045490 2022-11-17 22:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jratzlaff2/x3vw8g656ce63vja/wish/2389045490 THINK ALOUD STRAT https://padlet.com/jratzlaff2/x3vw8g656ce63vja/wish/2389045720 I feel like a think aloud strategy could be used with Structured Talks.

Students solve a problem independently and write their think aloud using the sentence stems from the article.

Next students share their think aloud before finishing the problem.

Finally, the teacher can warm call a few think alouds from students.]]> 2022-11-17 22:23:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jratzlaff2/x3vw8g656ce63vja/wish/2389045720
