December 6 - Part 1

1. What question are you thinking about?

How can students' word consciousness help them improve their vocabulary. 

2. What specifically do you want students to learn and be able to do?

I want my students to be able to use their awareness of words to help them improve their vocabulary.

3. What is something that you have learned about your focal students’ learning that has surprised you or been unexpected?

I have learned that they all like to be challenged, and will figure out a way to challenge themselves when given the opportunity.

4. Look at the work you brought today, what do you notice? What do you wonder?

I wonder how to incorporate the word lists they're keeping into a tangible teaching activity for the non-focal students (as well as the focal students)
