I implemented this with a class of 8th graders. Had FRAME puzzle pieces for the linking steps
I met with the teacher and we built the FRAME for the lesson together. I modeled it for her and then watched her do it with her next class.
Collaboration was the key. The teacher understood the process better after having it modeled. The challenges were adapting the FRAME to different classes' needs. The way we solved the problem really arrived through allowing the children to co-construct with us.
I use the books, powerpoints, adult learning strategies, and cooperative learning to teach the routine and stress cue, do, review.
We meet monthly during her planning period.
As I discussed earlier, selecting the appropriate content for the FRAME was a challenge because she enjoyed the structure so much that she wanted to use it all of the time. Drafting a student-friendly "So What" statement was also a challenge. We also spent time brainstorming ways to guide students in the co-construction of the FRAME to tie the information into their prior knowledge.
