Scenario Response 12

Instructional approach for listening and speaking to help students move from field-dependent to field-independent would be:

• Whole Class:  Gradual release and whole class discussions with lots of modeling

• Buddies:  Think-Pair Share, Turn and Talk, role play, centers

• Small Groups:  Jigsaw, Literature Circles with assigned roles, Role play, Centers

• Individual/One to one tutoring:  technology, modeling by teacher, explicit teaching by teacher, one-to-one conversations
