I like the idea of thinking strategies. Our school focus this year has been on improving our writing. I am proposing that we use teaching reading strategies as our vehicle to improve written expression. My premise is that if students can read and respond with deep, thoughtful thinking independently then their writing will follow. This idea then of thinking strategies is another way to build thoughtfilled expression while children work individually, in groups as they create products to show their understandings.
