Three important ideas from the lesson today are explanation, modeling, and bridging, but the most important thing I learned is "When the strategy is response to literature,... good written response is heavily dependent on good oral response."
Explanation - Students need to know the purpose of reading PRIOR to reading. This prepares them to look for evidence as they read.
Modeling - This step should be a brief exercise to move instruction from telling to showing in order to shift the responsibility of task performance to the students.
Bridging - This step should comprise the majority of the lesson time. It is the step that allows the teacher to assess who is getting it and who is not, provide appropriate differentiation techniques, and whether or not to proceed to the next step.
