Teacher Commentary
This is a good place to stop and document student thinking on the class lists on the wall and at the end of the interactive notebooks. As the whole group discussion is unfolding, you can run over to the wall to add newly- generated questions and knowledge. Also take a moment for students to acknowledge and name the strategies they used to make sense of the text, and add to the “strategies we use to make sense of the text” list, on p.24 of their notetaker. Students can mirror the class lists in their interactive notebook, or use it as a place to gather individual, pair, and class notes.
