Opening Minds by Peter Johnston
The common core state standards are complex. The last few days have been exciting and I look forward to moving into more curriculum writing.
Scaffolding is encouraged in the standards. Turning and talking, explaining how a character changes throughout a text, and also including a theme.
Peter provides sentence frames to support this discussion.
I think [ POSITION ], because [REASON ]
In the story, it says [EVIDENCE ].
If [ACTION ], then [BAD CONSEQUENCE].
What if [SCENARIO]?
But [COUNTERARGUMENT].
Let [classmate ] talk!
Put [classmate ] in [scenario].
What do you think, [classmate]?

Hello there! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate! He constantly kept talking about this. I will send this post to him. Pretty sure he’ll have a very good read.
I appreciate you for sharing!
