Reading Response #1

Zygouris-Coe, Ch.2-Literacy as a Discipline-Specific Process.

Principle 1: Learning is a Socially Constructed Process

Come up with multiple equations and groups solve them

Give groups different formulas and have them teach the class how to solve it and show examples on how to do so

Principle 2: Teacher As Mentor, Student as Apprentice

Use current people,events, and things for Line Graphs

Principle 3: Content and Literacy Knowledge Develop in Tandem

Having a daily question can where students put their math questions in a can.

Having it anonymous so students can ask freely.

Ex. Comparing basketball player stats in the current time

Ex. instead of a typical line graph do one of Apple sales in the last month.
