1. What are 'think, pair, shares'? Why does Maddie recommend using a partner checklist?
Students take time to think about an answer, pair up <usually with an assigned partner>, and they share what they have learned or work together on a project. Partner checklists are a good way to teach students to be responsible.
2. Why do teachers recommend using rubrics?
Rubrics are a good way to assess details of a project and also let students know the expectations of the teacher before starting to work. In this day in age we cannot and should not have a written test for everything. Rubrics allow teaches to look for the details.
3. How are discussions supposed to be conducted? <pgs. 279-285> See these pages for the answer!
Here are the questions for Chapters 12 and 13.

Chapter 13

Here are the answers for Chapters 10 and 11:
Chapter 10
1. Did you know that any child can be gifted? Gifted status is determined by the amount of words a child hears between the year of their birth and age 3. Knowing that, why is teaching vocabulary important?
The number of words a child hears differs due to socio-economic status. Did you know that the children of working parents and welfare parents are now lumped into the same category and do not provide enough verbal interaction? A child needs to read at least 1,000 books and must be constantly talked with using words in context, not baby babble, in order to be ready for kindergarten.
2. What is the difference between these words: tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3?
Tier 1--words that are likely already known.
Tier 2--words that are part of the vocabulary of mature readers and speakers.
Tier 3--words that aren't used in oral vocabulary often and are primarily seen in literature.
3. What is a morpheme?
A morpheme is the smallest word parts that are used to make new words.
4. Summarize the 4 Week Word Cycle. This will be on pg 255.
5. What is your 'vocabulary' schedule like?
I teach a few words each day. Research shows that students must learn at least 6 new words a day in order to grow as a reader. An example of this might be print: print, printed, printing, reprinting, printable, printer. Variations count!! Students need to hear the words in isolation, in verbal context, and in written use!
