Scaffolding Instruction:
The teacher provides guidance, support, and instruction to help students master a new skill, solve a problem, or complete a task, that the student could not have done alone.
Activating Prior Knowledge:
Students are encouraged to connect what they already know to what they are learning.
Predicting:
Making predictions encourages creative thinking. Students use their prior knowledge and cues from the story to predict what will happen next.
Teacher Modeling:
Teacher modeling increases students' higher level thinking and comprehension abilities.
Think-alouds:
The teacher models out loud what she is thinking as she interacts with the task at hand. Students will learn what is expected of them, and how to do this, by making her thought process visible.
Questioning:
Asking the right types of questions will encourage higher-level thinking.
