Adolescent Literacry chapter 7

For this entry, I would not only respond to the chapter but also to the discussion of the chapter from the class session. First, I have to say that I am struck and a little awed by the variety of ways to teach vocabulary. I do think that we as teacher seem to compartmentalize our thinking in this area. One of the early readings suggested that content teachers create authenticity by encouraging students to think as historians, biologists, etc. By doing this, the vocabulary of the discipline could become more internalized for the students.
