Chapter 7 - Working with Instructional and Natural Contexts

After you read Chapter 7, please implement the following with your students:

Implement "RAVE" (pp. 132-137) using one word from an informational text.  If you are having difficulty locating a word that is suitable, refer to this website for ideas.

  1. Post an overview of your plan, including the word you plan to use, no later than 02/14/17.
  2. Report on the blog about the implementation of the RAVE strategy by 02/21/17.  Do this by responding to your initial post about your plan so that your information stays together.
  3. Beginning on 02/22/17, read everyone's posts and respond meaningfully to at least two colleagues.  Monitor your own post regularly and be sure to answer questions and interact with anyone who has commented until 02/28/17.
