Step 3: Lesson Instructions
Students show their understanding of important details by asking and answering questions about the who, what, when, where, why, and how in a text that has been read and/or heard.
In the Classroom:
The teacher reads aloud to students and models his/her thinking when asking questions about key details in the text. As students read, they periodically stop to check for their understanding by annotating on a text or using sticky notes to ask and answer questions about what they have read.
Students spend time reading high-quality informational texts and monitor their understanding by rolling question cubes to answer questions. If students cannot answer questions correctly, they reread and retry the questions.
