What is a DR-TA and a text-talk lesson?
ReplyDeleteHeather Johnson
I am curious about the E-pals assignment. I see that it will be with junior high students and I was just wondering why we will be doing this age and group?
ReplyDeleteAlso like Heather, I would like to know what the text-talk lesson is about?
Hannah Hobson
I am interested in knowing more about what to write in our journals during our practicum. I am very excited about practicum and being in a school outside of Watauga County. I am also curious about our midterm and final exam and what both of those assignments entail.
ReplyDeleteChristin Jones
I have looked over the syllabus and have a couple of questions. Do we answer the core questions on a piece of paper, or are we just responsible for generating answers to discuss in class? Also, do we answer the practicum questions in a journal or do we post our answers to them on the class blog?

ReplyDeleteI, like Shelby, would also like to know if we just blog the core questions for each day or write them down elsewhere? Also, I was wondering if there was any type of group work that we will be doing in this course or will it all be individual work?
ReplyDeleteLeslie Sheppard
Like Shelby and Leslie stated before, I also would like to know more about the core questions for the blog. Is it all together within the blog or somewhere else? Also what exactly will we be doing in the schools during the practicum?
ReplyDeleteKatie West
After looking over the calendar and syllabus, I was wondering what a DR-TA strategy is? I was also wondering why you have Read Aloud and then a person's name listed?
ReplyDeletelike Leslie, I was wondering if we will have any group assignments or group projects during this semester? What will our midterm consist of? Where will we be writing our practicum answers?
ReplyDeleteMolly Suddes
What is a QIWK and will we be teaching lessons in the schools during practicum or just observing?
ReplyDelete-Amanda Jackson
I, like others, have wondered if we are supposed to blog answers to the core questions for each reading, or if we are just supposed to think about them before the class meeting. Also, I was wondering what kind of material will be on our exams. Will it cover lecture, the readings or a combination of both?
ReplyDeleteKayla Rash
I have many of the same questions as everyone else, I would like to know more about the E-pals assignment, and the text talk lesson. Also I am a little confused about whether our core question answers should be typed, brainstormed, or written.
ReplyDeleteKatie Stover
My question is when we do have an upcoming test will there be a review sheet of some sort? or will we be able to go over the readings in class so we will have an idea of what to expect on the test? Another question I have is, is there a time when we will work in groups? If so will we be able to pick our groups?

ReplyDeleteI also am curious about the core questions, are they going to come up during class discussion or should we write them down before class? Also, what is a QIWK?
ReplyDeleteHeather Heath
I as well want to know if we will have a study guide to help us prepare for the tests . Also, what is DR-TA?
ReplyDeleteSiomara Castillo
I, like many others, have questions about what we are going to be doing on our practicum and where we are expected to our write-ups for our experiences.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to know what our e-pals assignment is going to consist of.
Like a lot of other people in the class I am curious about what we do with the core questions. I also want to know what DR-TA is and what QIWK is?
ReplyDelete-Sarah Purrell
My question is like others, why do you have read aloud and then a person's name beside it? Are we going to be reading in front of the class? And also like Hannah I was looking at the E-pals assignment and why we are working with such a higher age group?
ReplyDelete:-)
Beth Hicks
There seems to be a lot of readings out of the book. Will these readings be able to address many concerns? If not then will we be discussing some concerns (issues we may run into) about teaching young children how to read in class? I find that it is most helpful when I learn from experience or someone else's experience to give me an idea of what to expect. Also do we need to bring our book to class every day?
ReplyDeletejoni little
One of my questions is, will there be any group projects in the class and will we be able to pick our own groups? My second question is, what exactly are we supposed to do in our practicum? I keep hearing everyone talk about Practicum, but I have yet to know what exactly it is and what all we will be doing during it.
ReplyDeleteAfter looking over the calendar and syllabus, I was wondering, along with other peaple, what a DR-TA strategy is? I was also wondering why you have Read Aloud and then a person's name listed? Also will there be any group projects? When will we have our final?
ReplyDeleteAlso like everyone else, I was wondering what a DR-TA assignment is? Also, what is a "Making Words" lesson?
ReplyDeleteLaura Davis
I, like many, wonders what a DR-TA and a text talk lesson is?
ReplyDeleteThe questions I have are; when we finish our readings are we going to talk about them in class and I would like to know what all the text talk sessions are going to consist of.
ReplyDeleteI have a few questions about our practicum? What exactly will we be doing at the schools during practicum? Will we be discussing what we are doing on the blog or in an actual journal? Also, when we answer the core questions during our readings, do we need to turn something in or are they there as food for thought for an in class discussion?
ReplyDeleteMegan Cockrum
Like a lot of people, I was wondering: what will we be doing at our practicum? Also, if we are in a grade higher than second grade, how will we relate it back to class?
ReplyDeleteBrittany Norman
Like almost everyone else, what exactly are we doing during the practicum? Also once all of our reading is done for class, will we be discussing them in class as a group discussion?
ReplyDeleteMeggie Colhoun
I would like to know what Qualitative Inventory of Word Knowledge is and what we will be doing during practicum?
ReplyDeleteKarie Steelman
I realize I am late on posting this...so...I apologize.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I am curious about what QIWK is and I am also curious about how we are evaluated during our practicum.
Emily Fox
I am also curious about QIWK, and I would also like to know more about the core questions, for example what we do with them.
