Transcript: Students have difficulty learning curriculum (can't get through the whole thing in one year. Students have difficulty retaining information (forget prior lessons, making it difficult to build on those lessons to construct new knowledge). Individualistic nature of background knowledge Outside influences on student learning have a large impact on background knowledge The pace of schema and content acquisition Experiential learning Background knowledge Anecdotal evidence Lit review continued only 5/18 students read at grade level 11% passing rate on SOL reading 30% passing rate on SOL-prep test for math Reading and instructional interventions have been unsuccessful with this group for many years. increased instructional time has not yielded increase in testing scores. Context The Problem Findings Prior knowledge comes from experiences inside and outside the classroom. (Navarro 2007) Background knowledge makes accessing content and constructing new knowledge easier (Pulido 2007) It doesn't matter if background knowledge is in L1 or English (Collier, 2003). Marzano (2005) recommends a number of activities to build background knowledge: multimedia experiential learning with manipulatives/realia (structured and unstructured) cooperative interpretations solving puzzles/inquiry presentations Q: What can I do to build background knowledge? Title I school Low-income area (77% on free/reduced lunch) Concentrated immigrant population (100% ESL class) Lit review Revised Q: What are the effects of schema-building activities?

Transcript: Creating Background Knowledge and Life Experiences to Support Learning Objectives Objectives We will be able to recognize the importance of background knowledge and life experiences as key elements to enhance academic achievement. We will learn how to create life experiences to support learning by using the cultural component, anecdotes, vocabulary, and real life experiences in order to create successful students. Norms Success depends on participaton- Share ideas, ask questions, etc. All ideas are valid- Stay open to new things. Be positive. Treat everything you listen as an opportunity to learn and grow. Please control cellphone addiction, only for emergencies. Limit side conversations Have fun! Norms Intro Knowledge a person has in his/her head about the world when he/she reads a text or attends class. Why is background knowledge important? Background knowledge is used to connect or glue new information to old. It is an essential component because it helps us make sense of new ideas and experiences and provides a framework and a vocabulary to help children understand the information they are hearing or reading. Background Knowledge Activity Activity 1 Groups Answer the following questions: What is the abstract about? Describe how do you feel about your understanding of the article. Read abstract Groups Answer the follow questions: Share your previous group reponses. How much of the abstract are you likely to understand? Why? Who do you think has sufficient background knowledge to understand this abstract? Unlock Meaning National Anti-Suffrage Association Headquarters Source: Library of congress, Printos and Photographs Division LC-USZ62-25338 DLC Discussion The viewer who understands the photograph is not smarter or more advanced than someone who doesn't understand it; he simply has knowledge that allows him to unlock the meaning. Failing to understand the photo is analogous to failing to understand print text- somehing that happens to students with insuficient background knowledge. They may see the photograph- that is, pronounce words without error, read fluently, and even answer some questions about the text- but the full meaning of the text cannot be understand by the students without pertinent background knowledge. Discussion Assessing Assessing Background Knowledge Carousel walk Free discussion Building Building Background Virtually http://animals.sandiegozoo.org/live-cams Building Background Knowledge Building Background through Experiences Plays, field trips, virtual field trips,interviews, etc. Create experiences for students, for example, Of Mice and Men by Seinbeck. Activity Using picture books to Build Background Picture books contain more rare word per housand words than prime-time televison or the conversation of college graduate (Carr, Buchannan, Wentz, Weiss & Brant, 2001). Examples include The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles, Patrol: An American soldier in Vietnam by Walter Dean Myers, Sir Cumference series by Cindy Neuschwander, etc. Conclusion Exit Ticket Kahoot Conclusion Background knowledge is essential to comprehension, to making connections, and to understand the big idea. Is the foundation of all academics.

Transcript: To withstand the soil pressure of the filling behind the Wall, the rows were placed in a terraced manner, each row set back a few centimeters relative to the one beneath it, making the wall slant slightly eastward. It is customary to leave the Western Wall plaza by walking backwards, in order not to turn your back on the holy site in haste. WesternWallWish.com allows anyone to submit a wish to the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Today, more than a million prayer notes and wishes are placed in the Western Wall each year. You can find notes in any language or format placed in the wall. Since 132 CE , the prayers of Israel both in the Land of Israel and throughout the jewish community were directed towards the site of the destroyed Temple. The Temple itself, as well as all the structures on the Temple Mount, became endeared to the Jews. The Midrashic sources of this period speak about the Western Wall of the Holy of Holies from which the Divine Presence never moves. Since the Holy of Holies was destroyed, the notion of eternal Divine Presence became associated with the Western Wall of the Temple Mount. Thenceforth all literary sources describe it as a place of assembly and prayer for Jews. Fun Facts The Western Wall is located in Jerusalem. It was built by King Herod in 20 BC. It was built during the expansion of the Temple enclosure, and is part of the retaining wall that enclosed the western part of Temple Mount. The Western Wall is one of four retaining walls that surrounded the Temple Mount at the end of the Second Temple Period. According to the Roman Jewish historian Josephus, it took 11 years to complete. During the Ottoman Period, the wall became the Jews' chief place of pilgrimage, where they came to mourn the destruction of the Temple that took place in 70 AD which later influenced it to be called the wailing wall. The wall originally consist of 24 rows of stone, roughly 59 feet high but in 1867 excavations revealed 19 more rows buried underground. The western Wall Plaza was created to be able to accommodate tens of thousand pilgrims instead of only a couple hundred with the western Wall itself. Jesus Christ was brought to Jerusalem for pilgrimages to the Holy Temple as a child. As noted in the Bible, Jesus was a frequent visitor to the Temple, and this is where he challenged the local authorities, a move that eventually led to his arrest and crucifixion. The actions of many modern Christian leaders, including Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI, who visited the Wall and left prayer messages in its crevices, have symbolized for many Christians a restoration of respect and even honor for this ancient religious site. Western Wall Significance In Judaism Sources Visitors to the Western Wall must enter the plaza adjacent to the Western Wall through one of few entrances with guards and metal detectors. Women wanting to approach the wall to pray or observe may only do so wearing modest clothing. Appropriate clothing is neutral colored trousers and top with sleeves. If a female visitor is wearing a sleeveless shirt, there are dark-colored shawls available in a basket to wrap around her arms. If she is wearing a short skirt that reveals her legs, she will be asked to wrap a provided cover around her. Men wishing to enter the prayer section of the wall are required to wear either a Jewish skull cap called a yamakah or kippah or a hat. http://www.sacred-destinations.com/israel/jerusalem-western-wall http://mosaic.lk.net/g-wall.html http://www.aish.com/h/9av/j/48961906.html http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/myths3/MFjerusalem.html#2 http://shalomholytours.com/significance-western-wall-christians/ http://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/what-is-beneath-the-temple-mount-920764/ http://westernwallwish.com/christian-jerusalem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Wall#Sanctity_of_the_Wall http://www.ehow.com/how_6121753_dress-properly-wailing-wall-jerusalem.html http://judaism.about.com/od/jewishhistory/fl/The-Western-Wall-A-Quick-History.htm Natan Sharansky, the chairman of the Jewish Agency, outlined new ideas for making the Western Wall a place where all Jews could pray comfortably, after tensions over rituals there peaked in recent months and caused discord between the Israeli authorities and Jewish leaders abroad. Mr. Sharansky’s proposal involves expanding and improving the areas accessible for prayer at the wall to include the southern section known as Robinson’s Arch which, under his plan, would be open for Jews wishing to pray in a less Orthodox, more egalitarian style 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The main prayer section, which is now divided into men’s and women’s sections, would remain the domain of more traditional worshippers.

Transcript: Cultural implications in ceramics they always have different ways of making things nd so in white ground pottery there are 5 types of styles 2 of them are are using the white clay to make silhouette type pottery and another is to use four different color glazes which is commonly used in dinnerware Black figure pottery was a style of pottery in ancient greece that uses silhouetted figures that existed during the years 620 to 480 BC. they made they pottery white so it could better contrast the paintings and it would sell for more The technique of incising silhouetted figures with detail is now called Black figure pottery. This technique of pottery is a corinthian invention of the seventh century. This design spread to other city states including Sparta, Boeotia, Euboea, the Greek islands and Athens. Black figure pottery consists mostly of animals and human figures. Black Figure pottery white ground pottery was invented in greece around 470B.C. Red Figure Pottery white ground pottery Red Figure played and important part in figural greek vase painting. Red figure developed in Athens round 520 B.C. The technique of how they created Red Figures was the outlines of the intended figures were drawn either w/a blunt scraper leaving a slight groove, which would disappear entirely during firing. And the relief line was probably drawn with a bristle brush or a hair, dipped in thick paint. Late Archaic was very popular in the Attic vase painters, which belonged into this generation. One of the characteristics that was beneficial was the drastic reduction of figures per vessel, of anatomic details, and of ornamental decorations. For example, the mythts surrounding Theseus became very popular at this time. Early and High Classical different types of white ground pottery Geometric pottery marked the end of the greek dark ages This style of pottery lasted from 900 B.C. to about 770 B.C. Identified by the geometric shapes or portraits or people animals or gods Geometric pottery Background Knowledge Pottery was the most durable of the remains left behind from the greek. One of the most important sources of ancient greek life. Provides contact into the greek world, artistic influence, or for dating other greek artifacts The key characteristic of Early Classical figures is that they are often somewhat stockier and less dynamic than their predecessors. As a result, the depictions gained seriousness, even pathos. The folds of garments were depicted less linear, this appearing more plastic. The manner of presenting scenes also changed substantially. Also, some of the new achievements of Athenian democracy began to show an influence on vase painting. Thus, influences the tragedy and of wall painting can be detected. The material now falls more naturally; more folds are depicted, leading to an increased "depth" of the depiction. Pottery in Greece went through phases or steps Geometric was the first to come around in the modern days of ancient Greece Seen as a gift from Athena so pottery was taken very seriously There is a page that homer wrote that went like this, "Potters, if you give me a reward, I will sing for you. Come, then, Athena [goddess of pottery], with hand upraised over the kiln. Let the pots and all the dishes turn out well and be well fired: let them fetch good prices and be sold in plenty in the market. Grant that the potters may get great gain and grant me so to sing to them. But if you turn shameless and make false promises, then I call together the destroyers of kilns." (if you make false promises and bad work I will destroy all of your kilns and pottery)

Transcript: Warm water temperatures are required for a coral reef biome to exist. That is why they are in the water that is shallow. In the deeper locations of water, the sun isn’t able to shine due to the depths of it. With the shallow water though the sun can get to the bottom of it and warm the area up. The characteristics of a coral reef biome will depend on if it is a hard or soft coral reef. With the hard coral reef you will find those limestone skeletons being left behind from brain coral and elk horn coral. With a soft coral reef though you won’t have that left behind. There are three different types of coral reefs that have been identified. Fringing reefs are those found along the coastline. They are along the shallow waters of the continental shelf. Barrier reefs are further out into the lagoon. They actually create a barrier between the sea and the lagoon area. Coral Reef Flora and Fauna Background Information Climate From 70 to 85 °F Plants Algae and sea grasses. Animals Jellyfish, crustaceans, sea turtles, sea snakes, sea stars. Location Indo-Pacific region, Australia, American and African west coasts. Coral reef conservation A coral reef already has a lack of nutrients in it so such contaminants can be a huge problem. The algae is often going to take care of such problems. However, if the contamination is in large quantities it will be too much for the biome to handle on its own. It can continue to prosper though due to how the reproduction occurs. Fragments that are healthy can break off and start over. However, it can take a long time for the coral reef to have coloration to it once again. Even though coral reef biomes are very important to us, they are in great danger. The risk of pollution to the water is the biggest problem. Even in areas where people don’t spend much time in the water, there are concerns. The run off from sewage and from agricultural efforts take a toll on the cleanliness of the water. Coral Reef Video Coral Reef Biome Coral Reef Characteristics There is no denying a very complex type of habitat exists in the coral reef biome. However, it also offers a structure that provides a great hiding place for many creatures. This includes sponges, an array of species of fish, jellyfish, and crustaceans. They include snails, turtles, and mollusks. You will find many species of birds living in the coral reef biome. This is because they can easily access different types of living creatures for food. The will dive into the water, get the food, and come back out. Other food sources will simply float to the top so they can rest on the water and consume them.
