Wow, what a request! How old are your students? You could use questions like: What is metacognition? What does it mean to make a connection? What does your brain do when you make a connection? How does visualization help you understand a story? When do you ask questions when you are reading?
I used to ask my students similar questions, I taught 3rd and 4th grades. When I asked theses questions I wanted them to know what the strategy was, what their brain was doing when they used the strategy and how to talk about their thinking. When an 8 year old talks about metacognition and truly understands the how and why of their thinking, it blows the minds of the adults in the room. My goal was for students to be able to put common names to what they were doing so we could have meaningful conversations in the room -not just keep adding new information into the discussion, but responding to what someone else has said.
