Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Note: For all information text, use the KWL strategy. Below is the process:
- Before reading, let learners think- pair- share, and talk about what they already know (K) about the topic .Have learners ask questions about what they want to know (W).
- While you read the text, pause often to give the children the chance to share what they have learned
- Let learners answer the questions they asked before reading.
- After the reading, have learners share what they have learned. The document sets the first line above at the indicator's own left margin rather than indented with the exemplars, so it reads as part of the indicator on the page; it is an instruction to the teacher and is transcribed as the first exemplar.
