- Ample opportunities for students to use strategies
- Consistent use of scaffolding techniques throughout lesson, assisting and supporting student understanding
- A variety of question types used, including those that promote higher-order thinking skills throughout the lesson (e.g., literal, analytic, and interpretive questions)
