more of this, less of that

Think aloud

July 22, 2008

I hope to do more targeted talk with my students this year. By using more “show and tell” and “think aloud”, I want them to see what makes up such things as:

asking permission to use an image (and sometimes not getting it)

not giving up on finding a book – as in “I know sometimes books are put back wrong so I’ll look nearby on the same shelf just in case”

visualizing – I think many students have to be taught how to “make pictures in their brain, like good readers do”

coming up with keywords for a search….
