Case Analysis: Ms. Grant, a sixth-grade teacher, assigned her students a written report about the topic being studied in science class. When Perry asked her how to takes notes on his findings so that he could tell what he needed for his paper when he finished, Ms. Grant said, "I can't give you a lesson on note-taking now. This is a science class. We are scheduled to cover note-taking in reading class later this month." What is your reaction to Ms. Grant's reply? What would you have done? Why?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should cover the following: Note-taking is a component of content area instruction and a valuabl--e tool for comprehending science content.The need to write reports in different content areas can involve many reading and study skills: locating information, organizing information, and using the library and multimedia reference sources, including the Internet.Teachers who give reading and writing instruction only within isolated periods, and who treat reading and writing as separate from the rest of the curriculum, will probably experience frustration rather than achieve student change and growth. Teachers should not ignore oral and written language skills and strategies when teaching content subjects. The ideal situation at any level is not "reading" and "writing" for separate time periods, followed by "study" of social science or science for the next period. Instead, language learning and studying should be integrated during all periods at all levels.
