Ann,
What it is: a student is selected to be the "sharer" or "storyteller" for the week. Depending on the class size, you can modify this to a day or a month, etc. The student will have used manipulatives like post-its to mark questions, comments, strategies use, etc. They will model a "think-aloud" and share with the class what the book is about while explaining how he or she used the strategies like questioning, inferring, text-to-self, and so on. It's a good way to get them to share how they think while modeling that for the scaffolding of the other students. I hope that makes sense!
Sarah
