The Facilititation of the Teacher

Scaffolding

Chunking: "Help students approach challenging texts by breaking down content into manageable pieces."

Questioning

Effective Questioning: grabbers, determiners, elevators, etc.

Levels of Questions: "Help students strengthen their literacy skills by increasing the complexity of the questions they need to answer about a text."

Hands-On Activities

Reader's Theatre: "Students create a performance that conveys a text’s message, theme, or conflict."

Town Hall Circle: "Students mimic a town hall meeting as they share their perspectives on a topic."

Four Corners: "Get all students involved by asking them to show their stance on a statement through their positioning around the room."

Student-Lead Activities

Student-Choice

Cooperative Learning Groups

Café Conversations: "Students practice perspective-taking by representing the point of view of an assigned personality in a small-group discussion."

Think-Pair-Share: "Facilitate thoughtful group discussions by having students first share their ideas in writing and with a partner."

Assigning Roles for Group Work: "Make your students’ group work more effective by giving each member a specific role to play."
