In Chapter 7, Miller talks about "Digging Deeper." I spent approximatly 7 hours at an ARI workshop yesterday on almost the same idea! WOW! Miller talks about the sophistication of her read-alouds, and how the children are ready to engage in more challenging dialogue while they make connections from past experiences to more in-depth learning. Give a/some specific examples of how this happens in your classroom or if it isn't, why not. (Remember this is a safe place. We are all learners together.)
Chapter 8 is all about inferring. Try getting one of the books Miller suggests on p. 121 & utilize the anchor charts, directions, etc. for a lesson on this. Blog about if it did/did not work and why.
