Direct Instruction:
In this lesson, students are participating in a guided reading session for the non-fiction text, "Exercise for Everyone" (PM+ Silver L23). This is their first time reading a non-fiction text as a small group this year. So we are going through the various structural elements of a non-fiction text and how to use them. Students will also be using the book's "Think and Talk" moments to help facilitate group discussion of this kind for the first time this school year.
