Blog 18: 2 hour meeting answer 3

1. What is your essential question?
How can deaf elementary student best become grade level literate?
2. What is your third answer to your essential question (write your third answer in a complete sentence)?
My third answer is knowing the instructional strategies that are best for their class or students
3. What are three details to support or justify your third answer (details are examples or facts)?

• Every student is a different type of learner. So if a teacher always gives lectures and the student is a visual learner, the student will have a difficult time retaining the information.
• When the teacher creates, establish, and enforces a safe environment in the classroom, the student then feels "safe" and will be able to work and listen better.
• Knowing different technique is important because if you use a technique called Cubing, where you look at something from different sides. One side you compare it, associate it, analyze it, apply it, and then argue for or against it. This is a great idea for a English class, but not as useful in a math class. Maybe for a math class we can use the "Think, Pair, Share" technique.

4. What source helped you prove this answer is justified for your essential question?

The most important source that not only help me get me to this answer but also help me to justify my answer was a book called Differentiated Instructional Strategies: One size doesn't fit all by: Gayle H. Gregory and Carolyn Chapman.
5. What do you plan to study next and why?
I would like to research further in the technology that is available and the different sources that a teacher can use for their class that will help their students.
