Direct Instruction

b. Guided Practice: T will kick off a conversation by asking how the main character
felt at the beginning of the chapter, asking for text evidence to support. T will
direct the Ss to converse in their groups, finding and sharing feelings/evidence.

along with the evidence. (Tell what someone else said.) The T will ask the Ss to
put themselves in the character’s place and imagine how he/she would feel.
