–shifting and sustaining focus, selecting what’s important, and engaging working memory, among others.Teachers should model for students their thinking about how to start the task: “Let’s see, I need to research Emperor Penguins. What are some good websites I should explore? First, I’ll make a list…”Include visual cues to remind them of the tasks. Draw a quick image on the white board as a non-verbal reminder that they can reference.
