Fiction lending itself to prediction works well initially. After students are accustomed to DR-TAs, selections from content textbooks or other nonfiction can also be used. The teacher should decide beforehand where students will stop to discuss and predict. 2.Students read to first predetermined stop. They confirm, refine, or reject their initial hypotheses and justify their ideas with reference to the text.
Students then make new hypotheses.
3.Students read the next section and follow procedures in step two. This cycle continues until text is read. 4.Follow-up activities may be completed after the text is read. The teacher may summarize points that students make during the discussion, but should take care not to let his or her values or interpretations dominate. The teacher's role is to foster thoughtful student participation.
