    Literacy is how we read and write, thus it is extremely important to involve literacy when teaching various subjects. These subjects include physical education, science, mathematics, art, and etc. Without reading and writing, we would not be able to retain the majority of the information communicated. As Fisher and Ivey specified “your cognitive interaction with the information presented would be extremely limited” (7). This being said, we can imagine what it would be like to sit in a classroom, only observing and listening to what is being taught.…

    Throughout the time that I have spent within my field placement, the teacher has allotted various small increments of time for vocabulary. The teacher usually spends less than five minutes discussing vocabulary that the students will see in a new book or when there is a question about a new vocabulary word. If the teacher is introducing multiple new words, she will spend between ten to fifteen minutes introducing the words, explaining the definitions of the words (and explaining which definition fits the best for the circumstance), and allowing students to make connections with the words. Once the teacher introduces the new words, she puts the new words on the word wall. This allows the students to reference the word wall throughout the day.…
