Guiding Questions for your blog post:
- These articles are within the discipline of educational research: how are they organized? What do you think is the purpose behind their organization? (i.e., why include a “Methods” section?”)
- How do the authors define literacy and why? Based on this definition, what do they observe in the classroom?
- How might this examination of literacy inform your own observations in your field experiences?
Define inquiry, kidwatching, and responsive teaching? How are they related to one another?
What kind of “naturally occurring data” can you collect in your field experience?

I argued how ethnicity can group and stereotype students. Additionally, I said how inquiry, kidwatching and responsive teaching are all related in that they are ways of collecting data to get to know your students which will improve teaching and learning in the long run.

Here is the link to the post that I commented on, I agreed with the author in terms of having to know the student(s) to be able to teach them most effectively. If a student is not comfortable within your classroom, chances are they are not going to be proficient.

I did not follow the guided questions but rather responded to the article “We Real Cool”. I made the argument that along with teaching disciplinary literacy, there needs to be a dissection of particular cultural literacies that can then be intertwined with academic literacy.

The blog I commented on answered the questions posed, discussed how researches aren’t so different, and mentioned the similarities between educational researchers and students in field placement.
Within my own blog I argued that religious literacy can be very useful within a secular classroom, but that it needs to touch on different religious figures so that some students don’t feel excluded or tune out, as it can cause students to learn a significant chunk of learning.

My blog argues that teachers must have an understanding of inquiry and be proficient at kidwatching in order to utilize responsive teaching in their classroom. Also, I argue that it is important for social studies teacher to have knowledge on various religions and not exclude the religious factors that may have influenced a historical event.

In my blog for this week I argued that inquiry, kidwatching and responsive teaching are all related in a way that you do one of the tasks to influence what you do in another. For example, if you get to know your students and how they respond to questions through kidwatching, you will have ways to ask better inquiry questions in which the students will be interested.
