Why is it every Fall, teachers teach
nouns...
![Page 3: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
and it seems likea totally newthing for kids?
![Page 4: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Most kids know thatadjective or adverbmeans “modify” -
![Page 5: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
BUT can they apply* this knowledge?
*Write an adverb in a sentence?
![Page 6: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
I’ve literally waved a $20 bill around in
class, but still can’t get a real world
answer from kids
What does modify MEAN?
![Page 7: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Here’s the problem:
Everyone is followingthe book too closely
![Page 8: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Here’s the problem:
All our textbooks are built on a “spiral up”
model of learning
![Page 9: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Here’s the problem:
That means 3 or 4 weeks of nouns, 3 or 4 weeks of
verbs, and then the same routine next year
![Page 10: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Here’s the problem:
That means no mastery
No “automaticity”
No time for constructivism
![Page 11: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The major difference mentioned in the reports is that the U.S. curricular materials are "a mile wide and an inch deep". By this is meant that the curricula in the U.S. presents many topics, but no subject is covered in any depth and there is very little difference in the emphasis between subjects. Because the study was able to look at students in both 7th and 8th grades, it was possible to see if there are any gains in subject matter competency between these grades. In several countries, students showed gains in some subjects, mostly those that had been covered in some depth in their schools. In the U.S., by contrast, no subjects showed a gain in knowledge and skill.

We have the same structural problems in ELA

Start with a good picture:
![Page 15: Teaching English Mastery with Imagery](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042601/547def2fb37959932b8b549d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Start with a good picture:

Add some scaffolding:

A couple of words of caution:
The first lessons take time - it’s about reps
Don’t ruin it! Know when to take a break
Follow the: I do, we do, you do model(give loads of input at first,
after a while, none)
