Discussion Question 4 2 of 3

Learning Goal: I’m working on a writing discussion question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

Please answer both questions from the appropriate developmental area (Elementary, ). Use your text and any other online resources to demonstrate your critical thinking skils in response to these questions.

Elementary:

1) Most of your middle class second grade students avoid students in class from a lower SES. How can you convince students that being from a different SES does not mean a student cannot be their friend?

2) Several boys in your fourth grade class never speak during literature class. What can you do to encourage them to contribute and give them more confidence in their abilities?
