I've been explicitly teaching this strategy in my whole class focus lessons and it is used as a follow up task also. Here is a picture of our class poster that gets updated for each new narrative we read.

ReplyDeleteI really like your clear and supportive strategy for understanding the guts of a narrative.
Thanks Karen! This strategy works all the time and kids respond well to it.
