Students in a fourth-grade reading group are reading a passage about snakes. Their teacher asks, "Who can think of a good title that summarizes what this passage is about?" After hearing several good suggestions, the teacher says, "The author says that snakes are helpful to farmers. What evidence does she give to support her statement?" If we consider Vygotsky's concept of internalization, we
might predict that such a discussion will:
a. Be more beneficial for students who are working outside their zones of proximal development than for students working within their ZPDs.
b. Help students develop a greater interest in learning for its own sake.
c. Be confusing and counterproductive for students who are not yet capable of abstract thought.
d. Help students acquire effective reading comprehension strategies (e.g., summarizing, looking for supporting statements).
