Sketch and Speak

A
  • purpose: to improve note taking and expository discourse
  • Active ingredients: identifying the main idea, responding rapidly and focusing onkey words, adults is providing some structure in advance via graphic organziers
  • Evidence: improves notes and expository text use overall but not repsonses to questions on the topic
  • does not seem to generalize to new themes

Story CHAMPS

  • no cohesive links are used
28
Q

Developmental Trajectory of Narratives: Stage 2 Sequences

A
  • 2-3 year olds
  • the child starts to link story elements together
  • there is a central character, topic, or setting
  • tends to be a basic description of event with no casual or time links
29
