My+Students+Retell+Too+Much!++Help+Kids+Grow+Compelling+Strategies+as+they+Read

From Tracey:

Following are my notes from Chris Lehman's presentation on March 19, 2011, during which he talked about how to extract the most important points covered at each grade level in the new Common Core Standards, and turn them into clear, easy to use "lenses" for kids to look through when reading and talking about texts. He emphasizes the use of "sentences frames," a simple yet powerful strategy to help kids learn rewire their thinking, and begin to use the words they need in order to grow big ideas about what they read (instead of doing a basic retell).
