Here's what I'm thinking, you start with a Read Aloud/Think Aloud.
Then you ask the students what they notice about your thinking. Ask
them to define what you are doing. Send them off to read, and
conference with them individually, being more explicit with those who
need the explicit instruction. I've noticed that frequently the
students near the one I'm conferencing with will join in the
conversation, or at least listen carefully.
Of course this depends on the age/ability level of your readers, and
what kind/how much strategy instruction they've already had.
