outside of school.

Webb’s Depth of Knowledge
KNOWLEDGE TAXONOMY WEBB’S DEPTH OF KNOWLEDGE
KNOWLEDGE “The recall of specifics and universals,involving little more than bringing to mind the appropriate material”
Recall – Recall of a fact, information, or procedure (e.g., What are 3 critical skill cues for the overhand throw?)COMPREHENSION
“Ability to process knowledge on alow level such that the knowledgecan be reproduced or communicatedwithout a verbatim repetition.”
APPLICATION“The use of abstractions inconcrete situations.”
Basic Application of Skill/Concept – Use of information, conceptual knowledge, procedures, two or more steps, etc. (e.g., Explain why each skill cue is important to the overhand throw. “By stepping forward you are able to throw the ball further.”)
ANALYSIS“The breakdown of a situation intoits component parts.”
Strategic Thinking – Requires reasoning, developing a plan or sequence of steps; has some complexity; more than one possible answer; generally takes less than 10 minutes to do (e.g., Design 2 different plays in basketball and explain what different skills are needed and when the plays should be carried out.)
SYNTHESIS AND EVALUATION“Putting together elements & partsto form a whole, then making valuejudgments about the method.”
Extended Thinking – Requires an investigation; time to think and process multiple conditions of the problem or task; and more than 10 minutes to do non-routine manipulations (e.g., Analyze 3 different tennis, racquetball, and badminton strokes for similarities, differences, and purposes. Then, discuss the relationship between the mechanics of the stroke and the strategy for using the stroke during game play.)

Reading Comprehension Strategies
increase student’s comprehension and retention of information
activate student’s prior knowledge to connect with new information
teach / reinforce skills that all good readers normally use
Teaching key reading comprehension strategies for only 15 minutes a week can significantly increase student achievement.
Increase Reading Comprehension by
Instruction in and support for strategiesEngaging discussion of reading contentSet rigorous level for text, conversation,
questions, and vocabularyUse practices to increase motivation and
engagement with reading Use specific instructional strategies for
learning and retention of content

K-W-L for Documents = P-A-R (Purpose, Action, Results)

K-W-L for Quantitative Documents= P-A-R (Purpose, Action, Results)
Why did the creators of this document set it up in this format or

What do you know about the format and how can this help you accomplish your task or calculation?

Why Content Reading? Expose students to content rich vocabulary
that is directly taught prior to reading to build comprehension.
Use direct instruction for introducing new vocabulary terms.
Enhance vocabulary instruction through interdisciplinary integration and real-world application
Why Content Reading?
Wide reading opportunities each day in different subject areas exposes students to many more words than basal reader or direct vocabulary list instruction
750 – 1500 words vs. 350 words per year
Marzano, 2004

The UPC, the most common version of the so-called bar code, wasn't as warmly embraced or as breathtaking as some emerging technologies, but its impact on retailing has been enormous. It saves $17 billion a year in inventory costs, by one estimate, not to mention carpal tunnel syndrome for countless cashiers.
Other technologies, such as radio-frequency identification tags, may one day replace it, but the lowly UPC improved efficiency and supply-chain control almost invisibly. One of the few times it gained media notice at all was in 1992 when President George H.W. Bush marveled at it during a campaign visit to a grocers' convention in Florida. His reaction added to a perception that he was out of touch with the public, because many people were by then well acquainted with the technology.
The rectangle of stripes and numbers has even fused its way into pop culture: In the former Fox television series "Dark Angel," Jessica Alba starred as a genetically altered fighting machine with a bar code branded on the back of her neck.
Human bar-coding is thus far the stuff of science fiction, but the U.S. government uses the symbol in homeland security efforts, and airlines keep track of luggage with it. The Food and Drug Administration several months ago required a version of the bar code to be put on medications to cut errors.
Vocabulary Strategies
Pair/Share: How do you teach vocabulary?
Vocabulary is the Gateway to Inferential Thinking
Most of us learned to teach vocabulary by having students:Write the word several timesFind the definitionWrite it in a sentence

Verbal Rehearsal
Connect with prior learning
Association method

Writing Strategies
When Students Write
They are obliged to organize concepts,
to place concepts in their own language,
and to connect concepts with their own analogies.
Writing often, several times a week, provides constant reinforcement of the content.
Writing to Learn
1 to 3 minutes at the beginning, during, or at the end of class
Several times a week - Daily
Writing to Learn becomes a habit in the classroom.
Writing in response to course content helps students
Think independently
Develop insight
Explore thoughts and feelings
Develop intellectual courage
Examples of Quick Writes

Entry and Exit Slips
Prompts for Exit / Entry Slips
What one idea from today’s lesson most interested you? Why?
What was the clearest point? The foggiest point?
What are the main points we made today in class?
If you had to restate the concept in your own terms, how would you do that?
How does today’s discussion build on yesterday’s?
Advantages of Exit / Entry Slips
Check for Student Understanding
Judge if Lesson Needs Re-teaching
Students Gain Confidence
Chance to “Listen” to Students
Develop a Dialogue with Students
