More than just a read aloud!

Recently my school's administration has really been pushing a higher standard of instruction.  Along with the push has come professional development staff meetings and new reading material related to the higer standard.  One of the books we were given was The Fundamental 5 by Sean Cain and Mike Laird.  A great read to remind us all of what we already knew... a good teaching model.  As the librarian I find myself reading many books to students ... duh!  However, I want them to get from the reading experience more than just the love of reading.  There are many lessons that can be taught from a great read aloud.  So having freshly read this new book I've decided to make my read alouds more than just a read aloud.  I've applied a few of the Fundamental 5 elements to my lessons.  Attached you will find some example lessons of how I've Framed my lessons and added Critical Writing.  Hope you find them useful!
