I have been looking at the work of Roger Farr and waswondering if anyone has any lessons on teaching student think alouds? I do lots of modeling on all the skills almost on a daily basis. I have also taught my students the seven comprehension skills. However, I have not really given students the opportunity to share their think alouds. I only see if they apply them through their work. For example on visualization, I give them the opportunity to show me what they visualize but not the opportunity to "verbalize their thinking processes". I guess I really want each student to be in the "teacher's place" and model their think aloud.
While it might not be possible for every student to go through the process (though in the course of the year it would be)--I find myself really wanting to listen to their ticking brain and not just responding to prompts. I am hoping that Ginger will read this and understand what I am trying to do and help me out. thanks, olga _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
