Dear everyone,I am currently taking the class Methods of Teaching Students with Disabilities. Also, I teach junior high students with autism and other cognitive delays. I have to present a lessonin my methods class next week, and I was thinking of modeling the "think aloud" strategy. Does anyone have a great suggestion of a particular book that is really good for this lesson? Also, I am open to other suggestions regarding ideas for this lesson I will be presenting next Thursday, Feb. 7, 2013. Thanks in advance.
