What makes this a strong model?

  • Text-dependent analysis through prompting to cite page numbers and text-based evidence

  • Structured partner-talk and whole-group share-outs, allowing students to process, refine, and build upon one another’s ideas

  • Purposeful, instructor-led questioning, encouraging students to move beyond recall to inference to strengthen comprehension and critical thinking skills
