developed to increase reading challenge and enjoyment for all
students challenge talented readers Phase I Exposure Teachers
select literature to read aloud to students, interspersed with
higher-order questioning and thinking skills instruction. Bookmarks
(on 24/7) that feature guiding questions to help frame the class
discussions for read aloud. Phase II Training and Self-Selection
Teachers coach students to select books that are slightly above
their current reading level and the appropriate match is
continually assessed through regular conferences. Phase III
Interest and Choice Components Students move to self-directed
learning to explore interest in reading such as creative and
critical thinking in language arts, writing, interest centers, etc.
Bookmarks are available on ES Advanced Academic 24/7 site.

- A surprise for me was the popularity of the essay writing. None
of the students had written such a long piece before and rarely had
they been asked to cite evidence for their statements. Doing so
made them feel grown up. Youll notice some are citing docs even in
their responses to the survey I made! They thought they sounded
pretty smart. Its obviously a first effort but they might continue
to sound pretty smart if they continue to examine everything they
read as closely as theyve learned to do and consider what basis in
fact they have for their opinions. Teacher feedback on DBQ

- An Ill-Structured Problem You are the supervisor of the day
shift of the Virginia State Highway Patrol in Fairfax, Virginia. It
is 6:00 a.m. on a steamy June morning. You are awakened by the
ringing phone. When you answer you are told, Come to the overpass
on 495 E near Tysons Corner. There has been a major accident and
you are needed. Quickly you dress and hurry to the overpass. As you
approach the bridge, you see an overturned truck that is completely
blocking both eastbound lanes of the freeway. You see CORROSIVE on
small signs on the side and rear of the truck. The truck has lost
at least one wheel and is resting on the freeway guard rail. There
is a large gash in the side of the truck; from this gash, a clear
liquid is running down the side of the truck, onto the road, and
down the hill into the creek. Steam is rising from the creek. All
traffic has been halted and everyone has been told to remain in
their cars. Many of the motorists in the traffic jam appear to be
angry and frustrated. Police officers, firemen, and rescue squad
workers are at the scene. They are all wearing coveralls and masks.
The rescue squad is putting the unconscious truck driver onto a
stretcher. Everyone seems hurried and anxious.
