I disagree with the statement below that I have put in bold print.. Providing a shared experience for a class creates common background knowledge that everyone can use to understand. Maxine In a message dated 3/16/2008 8:44:46 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
This reminds me of the prior knowledge I have with other educators quite frequently. My position is that ALL kids have some prior knowledge about common topics ( family, friendship, etc.) but the knowledge they have may be very diverse, and it may not match our expectations. No matter what, we can't possibly provide all students with the same prior knowledge before we begin discussing a topic. **************It's Tax Time!
