TEACHER TALK
Modeling is demonstrating a skill for others to imitate. Modeling reading skills often involves thinking aloud as one reads, to make clear the strategies a reader uses to comprehend text.
Be sure to schedule

work on the unit
inquiry project
"Symbols of Freedom." This week students develop an inquiry question about American symbols of freedom.
