3-2-1 Disciplinary Literacies

3 Things I learned. 

  1.  Disciplinary Literacies is believed to help the students in all aspects of their schooling. Teaching so that the student will be able to learn about all types of information. Whether it is education or not. 
  2.  Helping kids move across multiple domains will be the most effective way for these students in the future. "You are trying to give access to knowledge production and critique"
    1. Disciplinary reading versus disciplinary writing. Necessary Knowledge and Bridging Knowledge "is hard to define but it is the space between the knowledge the child brings to the table versus what they need to take away from the text. "  Need the knowledge to get knowledge from the textbook. 
  3. We need to think about the roots of the information that the students are learning, we need to build upon prior knowledge. Subject area text and disciplinary text need to be more closely related. 

2 Things I am still wondering:

  1.  What if the prior knowledge level is vastly different within your classroom?
  2. How do you properly identify each kid's prior knowledge or predict the challenges in a large classroom?

1 thing that interested me:

  1. I have never heard of disciplinary literacies so it was very interesting to learn about it and how it can be used within the classroom to help all students. I will definitely be watching more videos about it as it seems like it will be helpful to students of all ages including myself.

(Fable) Book Review #4 EDU 307

 The Grasshopper and The Ants which is an Aesop's Fables Series is great for elementary students because of the message that it promotes and vocabulary focus that is implemented into the book. The best way to teach vocabulary is to give the word context so that the definition makes more sense to the student. This book is also accompanied by a video which contains different images throughout the book, this can be beneficial to younger elementary students who are still interested in pictures books. This will capture the students much more easily, it is also nice because the teacher does not have to read it and can focus on pointing out things throughout the book by simply pausing it.  The book starts off with a grasshopper noticing  bunch of ants who are carrying seeds through the field. The grasshopper then asked the ants where they were going with the seeds; one of the ants replied and said that they were taking the ants to their nest. The ant told the grasshopper that it...

(Biography )Book Review/ Discussion- If A Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks" by Faith Ringgold

With my group today we decided to read If A Bus Could Talk: The Story of Rosa Parks" by Faith Ringgold. During our discussion, we talked about how this book is very well written and it also has some good pictures to keep the students entertained. One point that was brought up is how this can be used to teach literature and history to the students at once. This is an essential practice when you are an elementary teacher, it also is great when you can teach students two things at once. One other thing that we talked about is how the story when it to good details about the era it is talking about; therefore this would be more suitable for older students such as 2nd-4th grade. We believe that this book is also excellent to read to your students because the information is accurate, precise, and very relevant for an elementary student to learn about. This book is on the longer side, it takes about 20 minutes to read which is perfect for a read-a-loud within the classroom whenever you ha...

9/17 Reaction to the reading and question - module 2 WRITE - (edu 307)

 I thought that the article did a great job of breaking down "Teaching Literary Analysis". It often seems easy to do but it is very different to teach. The author did a great job of prescribing specific vocabulary and the necessary steps to teach. In order to make it smooth, you should have the students pick a topic with the main literary elements that he posted. Then you want to make sure that the students are questioning and answer a thesis; also answer the general "why" question. Then after you come up with an answer, make sure you are able to provide textual evidence as proof . He listed 4 important vocab terms which are "identify, categorize, highlight, and label". This is very effective and I found it very helpful when breaking down the text (also the answer to the why ). Analyze the evidence that they have and what it is pushing . This will lead you to the final step of concussion. I believe that this article did a great job of explaining how to tea...
