"Beyond Retelling: " "Toward Higher Level Thinking and Big Ideas"! To meet today s educational demands, Patricia Cunningham and Debra Renner Smith present teachers with a framework based on years of reading research to help students attain higher level thinking skills and develop their ability to think critically about what they read. Their Thinking Theme lesson framework allows teachers to pose The Big Question and support students as they think about The Big Idea. With the guidance of Pat and Deb, teachers will find their students will be able to formulate thoughtful answers to the big question and will move from proficiency to literacy achievement.
