"the theoretical orientatio. of our fieldwork is toward documentimg the produxtive activities of households and what they reveal about families founds if knowledge" m&g pg 159

Moll & Gonzalez

"The role of the teachers is to enable and guide activities that involve students as thoughtful (and literate) learners in society and academically meaningful tasks."
I think this is trying to say that teachers help us out to work together so that things become simpler. So that we can get the meaning of things through team work teachers arent there to boss us around and make us feel judged they are there to help us out.

M&G

"the reasearch is by necessity interdisplinary and in the specific studies reportes here, ut involves close colaboration between teachers and reserchers in th questioning how children are being taught and in proposing alternative methods of instruction."-(M&G. pg 158)

M&G quote

''We highlighted the role of teachers, equipped with both theory and method, in visiting households and establishing the necessary social relationships to learn from the families.'' (pg. 170)
I think that it is very important for the teachers to understand the student's point of view so they know where they are coming from, and also their background, so they understand the way the student learns.

Homework Reminder

Due Saturday Midnight: Post to Class blog A Quote from M&G and a short explanation what yu think that quote is talking about.

Due Monday before Class: Respond to two posts on Class blog. Add to the conversation! Just like we did in class when we played "Facebook"! :D (you know you liked it~!)

Due Monday in Class: Your Genogram! you'll be working on your Reading/Writing/Learning(cus as we've seen, they are all connected! :O!!) You can make it look however you want! And remember! they don't have to just focus on reading and writing literal texts! Watching TV, playing a card game, gossiping with your girls: these are also forms of reading and writing! We discussed the fact that your genograms need to be purpose driven, and that means that you have to find a reason, a drive for doing it! consider what's important to you and the connections your making! Follow those connections!

Bring into class Monday: A printed copy of the Sommers article(find it where you found all our other readings! :D) Start reading too! It never hurts to do it before it's due to keep your workload down!

due to fire on second floor we'll be having class in CoAS 179 today
