Summary:
This chapter, based on the discussions we had in class, seem to be the most relevant to what we've discussed. It's about samples, describing success, and reinforcing that not all learners are the same. They start at different places, and we need to have diverse ways for them to show their learning.
Response:
I found it interesting that this chapter mirrored what our miniature debate was all about. To refresh, we were talking about the use of samples in class. Someone had mentioned that samples are obviously a good thing, as it gives students something to aim for, but I felt as though Diana brought up a really interesting thought, and that is as follows: does sampling snuff out the creative side of students? If they see what the teacher wanted/liked enough to keep it, are they more likely to just copy it?
I think we came to a fairly good conclusion that giving students creative merit is the most important, but showing samples to those who need a bit of a boost on how the assignment should work isn't a bad idea.
