Table  Discussion    T:  Tell  me  about  this  landform  in  our  model.  (She  points  to  

an  illustrated  word  bank).  Is  it  a  lake  or  a  river?    M:It  is  a  lake.  T:    Now  show  me  the  big,  round  lake  in  the  model,  Can  you  

find  a  big,  round  lake?    M:Here  is  the  big,  round  lake.    T:  What  can  you  write  about  this  lake?  Can  you  write  about
