Reminder – pre-­‐plan you teacher model: The text offers multiple opportunities to think about the causal relationship between antibiotic usage and the rise of resistant bacteria strains. So, the literacy focus could be ‘margin modeling’ – constructing visual representation of scientific models/processes in the margin to help make sense of the text. This is a kind of Talking to the Text – making a visual rather than a comment. So for this teacher model you would need to both Think Aloud and Talk to the Text.

Science Talk Stems: The science reading and talking stems can be support both the teacher modeling and also the individual reading work. The “Modeling” and “Visualizing” reading stems could be especially helpful.
