  3. Anticipatory Guide • How do you learn? • How do you judge if you have learned specific material? • How do you self-evaluate throughout the learning cycle? • What are some metacognitive strategies that you have used to enhance your students’ comprehension?

  4. The Power of Words

  5. The latest National Assessment of Educational Progress shows that 32 percent of students entering high school are not proficient readers...“ (http://educationnorthwest.org/)

  6. Metacognition One of the first definitions of metacognition comes from Flavell (1976), who describes it as ‘one’s knowledge concerning one’s own cognitive processes and products or anything related to them’. He also asserts that metacognition includes ‘the active monitoring and consequent regulation and orchestration’ of information processing activities (Flavell 1976: 232).

  8. “Is there enough agreement of the definition of the word ‘game’ so it can be used as an adequate metaphor for life or at least some aspects of life? I believe every game has some sort of strategy. Given that every player suspends disbelief and enters the spirit of the game, every player has a method in which they use to seek to win the game. What is your method? What is your strategy?” Bob Bishop

  9. PUZZLE TIME • What strategies did your group members use to complete the puzzle? • What were your reactions and thoughts while solving the puzzle? • How did you talk yourself through solving the puzzle?

  13. Using Op-Ed cartoons to teach higher order critical thinking

  14. Implications for instruction Metacognitive development supports students' internalization of strategies. It does this through a conscious focus on the implementation of plans of attack. Metacognitive development fosters student autonomy through self-monitoring and self-assessment (Walqui, 1992). An example is teaching what a "good" reader does as he or she reads. http://learngen.org/Resources/lgend101_norm1/3000/3100_4/3130/3131alias2.html
