DVD-Strategic Thinking: Reading and Responding
with Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis

(4-8)
Spend a week in a middle school language arts classroom where the focus is on teaching the comprehension strategies of inferring in fiction and determining importance in nonfiction. You`ll see Steph, Anne, and teacher Jessica Lawrence plan instruction, lead mini-lessons, confer and share with the kids, and reflect on their teaching and the students` learning. Throughout the lesson sequences, students grapple with information, themes, issues, and ideas as they read literature and content-related text. As the kids read and respond orally and in writing, they merge their thinking with the text, adding to their knowledge and discovering the power of their own thinking.
