1) The "four C's" = Four components of a story
Causality- the events in the story are linked to each other with a district purpose of cause
Conflict- the goal or situation that needs to be overcome where there are usually obstacles in the way
Complications- the sub problems that arise when trying to meet the goal, the obstacles.
Character- strong characters, who don't need to be described in detail because the story and their actions tell us about them.
2) Mnemonics= a method or devise used to aid recall or memory examples are acronyms or rhymes.
3) Story Structure = the way in which the author organizes material that students are suppose to think about.
4) Surface Structure = what the text looks like what our immediate or initial thought is not really getting to the niddy gritty.
5) Deep Structure = the underlying meaning, process or procedure to solving a problem. (often in math two questions my look different or be asked different but the same procedure is used to solve it, meaning the deep structure is the same)

ReplyDeleteI really like your essence extractor! This brings back how background knowledge is important to the reader. Both of our jobs this week made a connection to this book and our literacy class in the relationship between memory and structure.

i was thinking the same thing stacy that a lot of the class material for this class and literacy overlap!
ReplyDeleteGreat essence extractor! I like that you did story structure as one of your vocab words. I think that it is so important in creating a lesson and it helps get or keep the attention of the student. In so many school the teachers just touch the surface structure of so many subjects. Without explaining the deep structure of the subject how do they expect student to remember the information for future use.

I'm pretty sure by using mnemonics,I passed high school! Everything was a mnemonic for me and I could still tell you a few of them if you asked! Also, I liked how the author explained that students are interested in stories and to try and format your lesson into a story. I'm just not sure how to do this, especially with my content and using the 4 C's.
