The second task is to comment on the Alvermann and Finn readings for this week. You are to comment to this post one time (thought feel free to do more than that if you like). Your post should do the following:
* Explain what the central idea of both pieces is.
* Exemplify what these ideas mean in your own experience as a student, teacher.
* Elaborate how you feel these two articles can relate. (In other words, read them against each other. What would one author say to the other?)
* Extend by sharing your reaction and posing a question the readings raised for you.
Again, your comment needn't be terribly long but it should be thoughtful. You are to comment here. As much as possible, I hope your comment will contain some reference not only to the articles but also to the comments of the others before you ... which means that you might want to be the first to commentsince I don't have that expectation for the first commentator!

2/7 Online Module #1: Word Wall
In place of our class next week on 2/7, there are two things I'd like you to do in place of our class meeting so that we can move forward. This is #1.
Please read the two articles listed in the syllabus together first before you complete either of these assignments. By Friday, 2/8, at midnight, please comment to this blog one key vocabulary word or phrase from the readings that you want to add to our word wall. Your comment needn't be long but don't quote - put things in your own words as much as possible and, if possible, illustrate your definition with an example from your experience as a teacher or student. I've posted a few sites under literacy links that you may want to check out to inform your thinking especially about the multiliteracies concept.
If you find, at the time of your post, that you don't have a new word or phrase to add, then you should really comment on someone's definition and use it to build, elaborate, or expand our understanding of the word / phrase. You could also offer up some interesting links to sites that could be further illustrative for people.
