Photorealistic classroom scene centered on a large laminated poster titled 'Sentence stems & prompts to teach explicitly' divided into three clear columns: Planning (My goal is... / I already know... / I will try these steps... / I expect this will take...), Monitoring (What am I trying to do now? / Do I understand this? I can tell because... / This strategy is/isn't working because... / If it's not working, I will try...), and Evaluating (I succeeded in... / I got stuck at... because... / Next time I will... / One strategy I learned from my partner was...). A teacher points at the poster while diverse students in the foreground hold open journals, write these stems, and place sticky notes and pens; warm natural classroom lighting, shallow depth of field, high-resolution realistic textures, and a readable footer: 'Teach these stems, model them, and require students to use them in journals/peer-talk.'

Planning:

  • “My goal is…”
  • “I already know…”
  • “I will try these steps…”
  • “I expect this will take…”

Monitoring:

  • “What am I trying to do now?”
  • “Do I understand this? I can tell because…”
  • “This strategy is/ isn’t working because…”
  • “If it’s not working, I will try…”

Evaluating:

  • “I succeeded in…”
  • “I got stuck at… because…”
  • “Next time I will…”
  • “One strategy I learned from my partner was…”

Teach these stems, model them, and require students to use them in journals/peer-talk.
