storys setting, characters, problem, major events from
the beginning, middle, end, and the solution. Students
should be able to orally tell you about these story

We build concepts using the C-R-A model. We begin

with concrete models, then use pictures, and finally
numbers, symbols, and equations.

distinguishing features of a sentence.
