Use the stages of modeling from the Strategic Instruction Model to explain how you would teach a sixth grade language arts student to check her essay for errors
What will be an ideal response?
The modeling stage is based on the premise that students learn a skill better if they see it performed, rather than just hear it described. Therefore, you would model the steps of the strategy by thinking aloud and using self-instruction, self-regulation, and self- monitoring. For example, you might say, "Let's see. I will look at this sentence to see if there are any capitalization errors. Hm, I have capitalized all of the proper nouns. Oh, I forgot to capitalize the first word in the sentence. Good, now I don't have any capitalization errors." After you model the cognitive processes by thinking aloud as you examine a written passage for errors, you enlist the student's participation in finding errors in the passage.
