Example 1
During reading, this strategy could be used in a decoding lesson to help improve students comprehension skills. During this teacher led-instruction students would work on building phonemic awareness by sounding out letters. This letter-sound correspondence will enable them to identify and manipulate sounds. Students would also sound out words chorally. The use of choral response will give more opportunities for students to engage in the lesson. This can achieved by modeling a sound or word for students, having them listen and holding up a finger for when you want them to repeat what was said.
Example 3
For social studies this strategy could be implemented by having students name differences and similarities between ancient families. The process of comparing and contrasting will force their brains to think. Afterwards students will compare what they found to modern day times. The hope would be that the instructor and students have a social studies books so they can read the text aloud previewing it while showing what the students need to look for in order to answer their questions. Have students make connections by thinking about how those historical places they find in the book may be similar to where they live. To wrap up the lesson, as assessment the teacher can give the class a worksheet to see whether or not they understood the assignment. Perhaps questions could be used such as naming an early community that came from Ancient Mexico such as the Aztecs or asking why it's important to learn about ancient peoples.

Example 2
This strategy can also be used to help students make connection to math concepts. This could be implemented in a fraction lesson by having students write fractions for pictures that do not look like units on a number line. The instructor then comes in, touches the picture and explains that whatever unit is shown is divided into parts. The instructor will then find the denominator with support from the class by asking how many parts each unit is divided into. To model finding the numerator for students the teacher can shade in part of a unit then count the number of shaded parts within a unit, modeling this process for the class. The objective of such a lesson would be for students to be able to write fractions.
