How do you use collaborative pairs or numbered heads in your large group lessons? How do you know when the lesson is moving too slow or too fast?

    9. Vocabulary Look for… Content driven Visual representation well organized, easy to use, graphic Uses research-based strategies and direct instruction to preview vocabulary at the beginning of lessons and units. Indirect instruction to build vocabulary through writing, reading, discussion, etc.. Ask About… How are students aware of current vocabulary? What vocabulary strategy do you usually use? How is your current vocabulary organized for learning? How do students use vocabulary for reading or writing?

    10. Graphic Organizers Look For…. Guides instruction and student thinking Guides writing extensions Guides reading assignments and questions Ask About… How do students use a graphic organizer in today’s lesson? Why did you choose that graphic organizer?
