Go to the Figures pgs. vi - viii and choose one figure that you will use in your instruction.  Describe the what, why, and how this figure is important and will be put into your instruction

There are so many figures in this book that would be useful to me in the classroom, so it was hard to pick just one. This is a book that I will keep handy throughout the year. I think the one that I liked the most would be figure 9.9 Three Big Questions Anchor Chart.This chart gives students the chance to focus on the text, figure out confusing parts and see how the text challenges their understanding. I liked how you can use this chart with younger elementary students as well. I mostly teach 3-5 graders but at times I work with the lower elementary so this would be useful for whatever age I am working with.

Since I do the lower elementary group I will try the Three Big Questions. I think it will be useful for my 2nd graders.
