Planning for Daily Intentional Teaching• What do my students need to know?
• What strategies/knowledge help them as readers?
• In what way does this “strategy” look different across genre?
• How will I make this strategy or understanding clear to them? • What language will I use?
• What texts/materials will best support this instruction?
• How can/will I connect this work to writing?
• How will I collect evidence that can help me determine how well students have grasped this new understanding?
