Please comment to this post with a description of your argument and link to your fourth blog post as well as the argument of the post you respond to with its link (by September 26 @ 9:00AM)
Guiding Questions:
What do you notice about either video? How do they each relate to the concepts of disciplinary literacy and/or content area reading? What are the affordances and limitations of each approach?
For what purposes will you access the reading rockets website? And for what purposes will you access the Tedd website?
What types of questions drive inquiry in my focal discipline? And what are its main methods of inquiry?
Tuesday Reading(s):
Watch Reading Rockets video
And then watch this Tedd teaching video
Thursday reading(s):
read an article (1) from the additional readings list AND watch a lesson from tedd.org or SHEG
Content Area Reading 2019 
Here is the link to my blog:
The argument that I pose is that the teaching strategies in both videos have pros and cons. I feel as if they do require the students to think deeply about why they got the answers that they did, but I also feel like students might start to come up with ridiculously “crazy” reasonings.

My argument in my post is that yes, inquiry based learning is wonderful, but there are limitations in place in the world of education that contradict the full implementation of such a teaching strategy. The issue has been in place for many years and there has been no solution to the problem. Also, the issue does not seem to be going away anytime soon.

I feel that students are more likely to learn when they are asked to explain their thinking instead of just asked for the answer. Students discussing their thoughts with one another and defending their thinking involves disciplinary literacy.

My argument is more critical of instructor practice and the advantages of practices on students and classroom environment. My post highlights the similarities between the videos in their stress of critical thinking, reasoning, and communication skills. I also felt it important to mention the inclusive applications of the List-Group-Label learning strategy. At this point in education, I believe all instructors will be faced with inclusive practice more than once in their career and should have an arsenal of tools and practices to aid in their learning and understanding.

This blog argues that there is a connection to what we are learning in our college teaching math courses to disciplinary literacy. We as future teachers are learning how to incorporate it more than we think. I thought this blog gave a great personal example of where the light bulb went off and they could see that connection. Additionally, they argue a process in which to bring disciplinary literacy into the math classroom.
My blog: https://teachingisanart.school.blog/2019/09/24/math-talk/
In this weeks blog, I argue that math can sometimes be the forgotten subject when people think disciplinary literacy because of the lack of reading. However, I feel that the small amount of actual reading you do makes a large impact of whether or not you are understanding the material. Therefore, it is just as important to incorporate disciplinary literacy into a math course. After watching the videos, I felt it was quite easy to see how to do just that.

I argue that if disciplinary literacy is going to be implemented within an elementary level classroom, it should be done so in a natural and fluid way. If not, students may question the entire purpose of whatever activity or lesson plan you try to incorporate disciplinary literacy in and they will lose touch with what is important within the content.
