What is it? Visualizing Predicting Questioning Reciprocal Teaching Students take the role of teacher by learning and teaching these skills. Summarizing Clarifying
Reciprocal Teaching Students rotate through the roles. Teacher explicitly teaches strategies. Students take turns practicing strategies independently and in groups with text or media. Students share and compare responses within small groups. Students collaboratively answer their own questions. Students share best questions and answers with class. Students learn to predict, question, clarify, and summarize independently.
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.
