Here are the answers for Chapter 5:

1.  Why should a teacher follow the same procedures every time a group meets?

It allows students to memorize procedures and saves time.  It also allows students to access their schema about subjects or topics.

Students need to read aloud in order to practices pronunciation of words, practices 4 fluency, and in order to practices speaking in front of others.

Somehow when making our chart for the chapter/week I messed up and listed Chapter 4 twice.....could it be because of the hoodlum munchkins that run around my house and ask a zillion questions as soon as mama pulls out the computer?  Well anyway....this is a holiday week so we can just focus on Chapter 7 this week.  Here are the questions for Chapter 7:

1.  What is one of your 'most relied upon routines?

2.  What is a muscle memory routine?

3.  Explain figure 7.1 on page 186.

4.  How can you incorporate "hot or not" in your classroom?

5.  Read through the routines on pages 192 to 205.  Choose a routine you can use and summarize it!

6.  If you will be conducting this book study with your staff (and I encourage this!) check out the webinar on the book's website and use it to teach muscle memory routines!
