    "Close Reading and Argument Writing - Authentically Across the Curriculum 7/16/2015 0 Comments Close reading of informational texts and non-fiction articles is not - and should not be - reserved for language arts classes. Every content area would be immensely enhanced if science teachers, social studies teachers, physical education teachers, welding teachers, woodworking teachers (in other words, "all technical subjects," as Common Core states) would not push aside the textbook, but instead embrace it, along with content area and trade articles. Students would then simultaneously learn how to dissect the readings while gaining knowledge in these content areas. What often happens is that teachers feel that students can't handle the text books or can't read the articles independently - and often that is true. However, when teachers instead go into a survival mode, of sorts, and read aloud the whole chapter or article or summarize it with a slideshow, it ends up doing a disservice to students - students are not learning HOW to read these complex texts. They are not learning how to acquire the information on their own. They are not being given the skills to read the sometimes intricate information within a particular content area or even within their possible future trade. They are not being given the opportunity to read, understand, articulate, and discuss or even debate topics within their area of study. Teachers sometimes feel that they can't do these things with students because they are not language arts teachers, or because they don't have time, or simply because they don't know how. Alternatively, a simple solution is to let go of the control and let students do…..with the guidance called close reading. Close reading is a guided reading approach. It is guided because 1) the close reading strategy is reserved for complex texts that are often too high for students to be left with independently and 2) students don't use close reading strateg

NO ME HAGAS PENSAR - Ciencia, Tecnología y Razón al alcance de todos: Las fal... - 0 views

  •  
    "Las falacias o falsas argumentaciones son errores que infringen las reglas del buen comportamiento del acto argumentativo; se trata de inferencias que no son válidas, pero que cuya forma recuerda a las de las argumentaciones válidas. Son argumentos que no tienen relación con las tesis puestas en discusión y se los utiliza en las argumentaciones cotidianas: insultar a alguien, amenazarlo, tratarlo de incompetente; pueden servir, además, para obligar al interlocutor a aceptar la validez de una tesis inconsistente. Algunas falacias afectan al aspecto lingüístico propiamente tal, como ambigüedad, incomprensibilidad de los enunciados, ausencia de significados tras enunciados aparentemente significativos; otras se basan en la manipulación de los hechos. Reglas para una argumentación ideal Según Lo Cascio, Van Eemeren y Grootendorst postulan una tipología de las falacias, presentándolas como infracciones a ciertas reglas en las que debe basarse toda buena argumentación. Según estos autores, es importante considerar estas prescripciones de comportamiento argumentativo correcto para así poder valorar la estructura y validez de los argumentos. Las diez reglas consideradas por estos autores son las siguientes: 1. Las partes involucradas en la disputa no deben crearse impedimentos recíprocamente. 2. Una persona que expresa una opinión debe estar dispuesta a defenderla si se lo piden. 3. Un ataque a una argumentación debe centrarse en la tesis que ha anunciado el protagonista, sin desviar el discurso, sin presentar la tesis de forma diferente y sin actuar de forma que se le atribuya al antagonista una tesis diferente de la que sostiene. 4. Una tesis debe defenderse solo con argumentos relacionados con ella y que no tengan imbricaciones con otra. 5. Una persona debe aceptar las consecuencias y la existencia de las premisas que deja implícitas y, en consecuencia, debe aceptar que se le ataque en terreno de éstas. 6. Una tesis puede considerarse defendid

    "Call it counterintuitive clickbait if you must, but Forbes' Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry made an intriguing argument when he granted the title of "Language of the Future" to French, of all tongues. "French isn't mostly spoken by French people and hasn't been for a long time now," he admits," but "the language is growing fast, and growing in the fastest-growing areas of the world, particularly sub-Saharan Africa. The latest projection is that French will be spoken by 750 million people by 2050. One study "even suggests that by that time, French could be the most-spoken language in the world, ahead of English and even Mandarin." I don't know about you, but I can never believe in any wave of the future without a traceable past. But the French language has one, of course, and a long and storied one at that. You see it visualized in the information graphic above (also available in suitable-for-framing prints!) created by Minna Sundberg, author of the webcomic Stand Still. Stay Silent. "When linguists talk about the historical relationship between languages, they use a tree metaphor," writes Mental Floss' Arika Okrent. "An ancient source (say, Indo-European) has various branches (e.g., Romance, Germanic), which themselves have branches (West Germanic, North Germanic), which feed into specific languages (Swedish, Danish, Norwegian)." Sundberg takes this tree metaphor to a delightfully lavish extreme, tracing, say, how Indo-European linguistic roots sprouted a variety of modern-day living languages including Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Italian - and, of course, our Language of the Future. The size of the branches and bunches of leaves represent the number of speakers of each language at different times: the likes of English and Spanish have sprouted into mighty vegetative clusters, while others, like, Swedish, Dutch, and Punjabi, assert a more local dominance over their own, separately grown regional branches. Will French's now-modest leaves one day cast a shadow over the w

1732: Earth Temperature Timeline - explain xkcd - 1 views

  •  
    "This comic is a timeline on how the temperature has changed from 20,000 BCE (Before Common Era) to the present day (2016), with three predictions for the rest of the 21st century depending on what actions are taken (or not taken) to stop CO₂ emission. This comic is a direct, but much more thorough, follow up on the previous global warming comic: 1379: 4.5 Degrees. By having readers scroll through millennia of slow-paced natural changes, Randall uses the comic to confront the the rapid temperature rise in the recent years. Over the past 100 years, human action has produced a large amount of CO₂ emissions, which have caused a rise in average global temperature through the greenhouse effect. This is called global warming and is part of a climate change, a subject that has become a recurrent subject on xkcd. There are still many people who claim that this is not happening, or at least that it is not caused by any human actions, called climate change deniers. One argument of theirs is that global warming is happening for natural causes, summarized with the phrase "temperature has changed before". "

Texto argumentativo. Plantilla y ejemplo... por @smoll73 - 2 views

    "El texto argumentativo es una modalidad discursiva que tiene como finalidad defender mediante argumentos una idea o tesis. A la hora de redactar un texto argumentativo muchos alumnos muestran enormes dificultades para su redacción al enfrentarse a una hoja en blanco. El motivo por el cual les cuesta tanto redactar este tipo de textos es que no parten de una estructura previa que les permita la redacción de un texto escrito, independientemente de la tesis que se quiera argumentar. Es por ello que este artículo tiene la intención de enseñaros a redactar un texto argumentativo desde el principio para que podáis aplicarlo posteriormente sin tener en cuenta la tesis que vayáis a defender. Si conseguimos que previamente a la redacción el alumno tenga por escrito un guión previo muy definido, la redacción será mucho más fácil. En este sentido el profesor es importante que no sólo valore el texto argumentativo, sino también el borrador o plantilla elaborada por el alumno."

8 Stages of ADI - Argument-Driven Inquiry - 2 views

  •  
    Web centrada en una variante de la Indagación que pone el foco en la argumentación. Estrategia que cada vez recibe más atención por su gran potencial en el aprendizaje. "The ADI Instructional Model ADI lab activities consist of the same 8 stages. Each stage is designed to give students an opportunity to participate in one or more science and engineering practices. The stages of ADI are the same for each investigation so students have an opportunity to use the same science and engineering practices, but different disciplinary core ideas and crosscutting concepts to figure out how thing work or why things happen. This instructional approach also gives students an opportunity to learn how to propose, support, evaluate, and revise ideas through discussion and in writing."
