6. Choral Reading/Response/Echo Teacher asks questions and students give answer as group Echo is having students repeat what teacher says

7. Pictorial Input Chart Teacher talks and sketches (over light outline) with marker to illustrate a new concept Key vocabulary words are added Questions are asked to engage students

8. Observation Chart Students observe pictures and write observations, comments or questions

9. Process Grids Use information learned in unit Categorize it on a chart Teacher provides headings

10. Cooperative Strip Paragraph Teacher writes topic sentence in black from a process grid Table groups come up with sentences that support it from the unit (wall charts) Teacher monitors to make sure ideas are different All contribute to the paragraph editing and revising as needed as a group
