Here are some
examples of how
frames were used
in a 5th grade (ELA
and Social
Science) class.
In these particular
instances, students had
independently completed
their own individual
frames, think-pair-shared
with a partner, and then
the teacher recorded a
sample of shared
responses during a whole
class discussion (on posters
shown).
