Keene, chpt. - 4

After reading chapter four i feel that i will strive to make my classroom as comfortable as the one in the chapter. First off, I feel that the students need to feel comfortable, and secondly, somehow make the classroom their own. After this is accomplished i feel that teachers can then model for students and hold a higher standard for them. I like the idea of giving students more time to think about a question or topic, instead of quickly calling on the first students to throw their hand up, and then jumping right to the next student. Then when students are called upon, the teacher needs to probe deeper to help them understand how they understand. By doing this, students may then do this with each other while working together with out the teacher.
