Representation is important for a child's education and self esteem.

Helai-I love how they mention that although words are used to instruct, correct, and direct; they should also be used to have fun!

I think it's interesting that a strategy for building vocabulary is with crossword puzzles/riddles. I didn't enjoy them as a kid because of the puzzle aspect even though I loved learning new words.

Helai-from Gunning-as teachers, we need to balance the goal of having students learn new words with  the goal of having them understand the selection.

Gunning-  I felt that the Pictorial map idea would be really valuable for all students to use and help build a memory.
Cultural-  Schools/Districts should get the community involved more often. Use guest speakers to influence the students.

1. Cultural capital can have a positive and/or negative impact on students engagement.  Positive: strong support, high expectations, values.  Negative: economic challenges, difficult backgrounds.

2. Gunning - Mapping is a great way to not only introduce and learn new vocabulary but to also incorporate into other areas (multi-use).

3. Who We Are - When norms of respect, fairness, safety, and positive communication were present in the school environment, student engagement enhanced at all levels.

Literacy is basically impossible to achieve without knowing about your students, background, home language. Schools, too have a unique culture.

Helai-Social Capital and Student Engagement: I went through a myriad of emotions while reading this.  Initially, I was angry and frustrated with the current status of education in regards to Hispanic students achievements.  Towards the latter half of the article, I found myself a bit more encouraged by the hope of positive change.

1. Gunning-VSS vocabulary self-collection strategy, sesquipeddalian words
2. social capital- I felt the school should have made sure all students were succeeding but was impressed with how the fathers in the community stepped up and became role models for these kids involving the whole community. It was amazing.
3. cultural capital-social movement  start with teachers committed true social change agents benefit all children pg. 17

I like the semantic mapping technique for learning vocabulary.

1. Gunning - Techniques for teaching words – Graphic Organizers, Semantic Maps, etc.

2. Cultural Capital and it's Influence on Student Engagement: Know: School culture: Language, norms, values/beliefs and assumptions. Cultural Capital: Knowledge, meanings and symbolic markers. Remind: My mother and how hard she worked to make sure that we got the best education we could have. Her strong work ethic and determination for her children's rights. Wonder: What would the outcome be for other races? Think: We need to appreciate the cultural capital of Hispanic students and bring that into the classroom. Especially where we are located.

3. Social Class and Student Engagement: Know: Social Class is a form of economic status. Remind: True North - Get on the right course, proceed in the right direction: Transformative leaders know their 'true North" and non negotiables and in the I ght of public disdain press forward toward a system of education embracing equity, democracy, and social justice. Wonder: Why is it so hard to have great schools in low SES? I know money has to do with it, but if education should be free, why can't it be top notch? Think: Having ethic of care as the foundation for creating student success can help to build critical relation-ships with students and lead to better student engagement.

There are seven principles of developing vocabulary:

1. Experiential background
2. Relating vocabulary to background
3. Building Relationships
4. Developing depth of meaning
5. Several exposures
6. Create an interest in words
7. Teach students how to learn new words.

Gunning - Dramatizing: putting vocabulary in the context of simple skits adds interest and reality.
Social Class - The higher the students social class, the more engaged they are in the learning process. Students from low socioeconomic status families with few resources tend to start school less prepared for the academic experience.
Cultural Capital - There is a disconnect between teacher and student experiences.  Athletics were important but some teachers did not seem to realize the majority of Hispanic students could not afford to participate.

Cultural Capital -
Use of real-life scenerios to help students make a connection to what they are learning in the classroom and therefore becoming more engaged in the lessons.

Social Class -
My understanding of the different social classes my students belong will allow me  as a teacher to better cater to their specific needs.

Gunning -
Semantic Mapping. Loved the 6 steps for introducing new terms, concepts and topics.
