To think how much background knowledge has the power to impact our low reading students is awesome.  It's the success we've been craving for them!]]> 2021-04-27 18:49:51 UTC https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1465968980 Content knowledge builds knowledge of academic and enriching vocabulary.

By focusing on and learning those smaller pieces, students gain more knowledge about the big idea/question. https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466060815 2021-04-27 19:09:55 UTC https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466060815 It makes me think of a quote I've heard about teachers; the best teachers show the kids where to look but not what to see. https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466061700 2021-04-27 19:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466061700 https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466061709 It helps students think about concepts at a deeper level and across subjects.

When we intentionally scaffold our questions, they feel success along the way and are able to take their thinking even deeper! ]]> 2021-04-27 19:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466062011 https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466062096 When structured questions are introduced, each pointing towards the essential questions, the individual pieces begins to fall into place, working towards the broader understanding.]]> 2021-04-27 19:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466062096 https://padlet.com/simus2/p1ky6cvat8uvkg2n/wish/1466062313 Scaffolding questions take a student's knowledge bit by bit to reach that larger essential question.
