Mrs. Mellano writes a list of five new vocabulary terms using the oa vowel combination on the board. She then shows them pictures of a foal, some coal and a soccer goal as she asks the students to provide their own explanations and descriptions of the images that match the words. Lastly, Mrs. Mellano gives the students fifteen minutes to draw their own pictures and scenes that include pictures associated with the five words. Mrs. Mellano most likely selected this instructional strategy in order to:
  1. Encouragethe use of social learning through cooperative learning activities.
  2. Foster the use of both linguistic and non-linguistic forms of storing knowledge.
  3. Set measurable objectives and provide immediate feedback to each student.
  4. Provide recognition for on-task behavior and praise for successes.
Explanation
Answer: B - Mrs. Mellano most likely selected this instructional strategy in order to foster the use of both linguistic and non-linguistic forms of storing knowledge. Linguistic forms include reading and writing, whereas non-linguistic forms include kinesthetic (movement), bodily sensations and images. By fostering the use of both types, Mrs. Mellano has increased the likelihood that students will store the skills and concepts over time so that they can be retrieved for use later.
