Teachers know quality talk helps develop students' intelligence. Unfortunately, there hasn't been enough support in showing teachers how to plan for this kind of talk. In this book, authors Ian Wilkinson and Kristin Bourdage bring together research-proven approaches to talk about text and offer teachers different models based on the specific skills they want to develop in students. More than just one approach, theirs is a versatile collection of approaches that will develop and expand students' knowledge and skills. - talk about text to emphasize personal response - talk about text to emphasize knowledge building - talk about text to emphasize argumentation. Organized in a way that allows teachers to dip in and out of the chapters as needed, you'll be able to decide which discussion approaches are most closely aligned with the needs of the moment. -- Provided by publisher.
