Answer to #1

Recognizing that many of the children may not live in a traditional two-parent home, she suggests a variety of people for whom they might make a valentine card. And knowing that some of the children may not be familiar with what a valentine is, she shows the class examples of valentine cards that other children have made.

Answer to #2

She gives children a stern look when they are off task in their reading group. She also calls out the names of children who are off task. However, she seems to accept the fact that her students are going to be more distractible on Halloween than they typically are and takes their hyperactivity in stride.

a.

Answer to #4

Although the star chart may be motivating for some of the children, it's probably not a good idea for several reasons:

b.

Answer to #8

Students who like to be the first in line and/or the center of attention are likely to be motivated. Also, completing reading tasks successfully may enhance children's self-efficacy for such tasks, and some children may realize that the gold stars are a symbol of that success.

Answer to #9

It probably is appropriate. For a variety of reasons, most experts argue against assign grades on the basis of improvement. However, teachers typically use stickers more as reinforcers than as indications of overall achievement, and it is certainly appropriate to reinforce improvement.
