Mark McKinley: He is in music education. He talked about emphasizing skills needed to read music. Some examples given were tempo, style, and knowing the composer.

Julia Hess: She is in physical education. She said PE focuses more on applying data, charts, and vocab to movement.

My strategy was anticipation guide. All of the people who responded to my discussion post did a really good job with the strategy.

I love how you emphasize giving students both purpose and context when reading, and I agree that modeling strategies like close reading and annotation helps them build skills that go beyond English truly preparing them for life.

I really like how you pointed out that generic reading strategies aren’t enough, and your examples of how historians and scientists approach texts make the idea of thinking like an expert so clear.

I really like how you connected the idea of disciplinary literacy to music and showed how the STARS method mirrors strategies like pre-reading in other subjects. It’s a clear example of how students can “read” music the same way experts in other fields approach their specialized texts.
