GWB: discussion strategy

Quotable Quotes – Save the Last Word for Me! Discussion strategy


RMI - Quote & Response (but not why chosen)

Why I chose it

Key to understanding process of reading as transactional – leads to change 0 for me, that is what education is all about – change - growth

Points out distinctions between formal and informal, written and oral

Oral – turn taking

Written – stylistic use of the genre – once upon a time…

Reading is most predictable when the language of the written text and the ideas expressed are similar to the oral language and conceptual knowledge of readers (23)

Does sampling strategy mentioned on pg.30 have s/thing to do with ADD? Brain not being able to sample?

getting it done? But what have you learned?
