Three important ideas/things I learned from the lesson today are: allow students to work within collaborative groups to talk about text, provide guidelines and walk students through how to properly participate in a collaborative group, and educators should consider using steps from the writing process to incorporate into the reading process so that students are taking their time to come up with great answers and conclusions, but the most important thing I learned today was from the final paragraph of Chapter 4 on page 38: "If students can't "talk it", they'll never be able to write it." This statement means that students need to be able to discuss ideas with peers to gain a better understanding of the material. If students are able to hear the different views of their peers, it will give them more ideas to write about and the discussion may give certain students more confidence in their answers.
Chapter Five
Three important ideas/things I learned from the lesson today are: great answers on an assessment NEED to be answered in FULL (it is also better to give a partial answer than no answer at all), great answers are developed by knowing what evidence to look for in the text, and great answers are accurate, but the most important thing I learned today was that learning how to write great answers need to be modeled. Teachers can model for students how to come across these great answers and how to use the detail from the text to support why we think our answers are correct. Another important point is that if providing answer frames for students, there needs to be a point during these lessons that the answer frame is taken away and that the students need to develop the answers on their own.
