Tea Party
When to use:
- to frontload background information
- scaffolding with students who need extra support
-whole-class instructional strategy
How to use:
1. Teachers make cards with excerpts from a story, nonfiction piece, or content-area textbook.
2. Students practice reading their excerpts to themselves several times until they can read them fluently.
3. Students move around the room and read their excerpts to classmates. They pair-up and take turns reading to each
other--discussing the text afterward.
4. After about 10-15 minutes students return to their desks and teachers invite several students to read their excerpts to
the class or talk about what they learned.
