Answer to #6

The response should include a specific grade level and a specific topic to be taught at that level. It should describe how that topic might be taught using discovery or inquiry learning in sufficiently concrete terms that you have a fairly good idea of what would occur during the lesson. Although students' responses are apt to vary considerably, their approaches should incorporate at least three of the following ideas:
 Identify a topic that lends itself to a discovery-learning or inquiry-learning approach.
 Make sure students have the necessary prior knowledge for discovering new ideas and principles.
 Show puzzling results to arouse curiosity.
 Structure and guide a discovery session so that students proceed logically toward discoveries you want them to make.
 Have students record their findings.
 Help students relate their findings to concepts and principles in the academic discipline they are studying.

Answer to #7

a. Behaviors that indicate possible giftedness include these (the response should include at least three):
 High IQ scores
 Exceptionally high achievement in one or more domains (as reflected in classroom assignments, outside accomplishments, etc.)
 More advanced vocabulary and language
 More advanced reading skills
 More general knowledge about the world
 Ability to learn more quickly, easily, and independently than peers
 More advanced and efficient cognitive processes and metacognitive skills
 Flexibility, originality, and resourcefulness in thinking and problem solving
 Ability to apply concepts and ideas to new, seemingly unrelated situations
 High standards for performance (perhaps to the point of unhealthy perfectionism)
 High motivation to accomplish challenging tasks
 Feelings of boredom about easy tasks
 Above-average social development and emotional adjustment
b. Strategies for addressing the needs of gifted students include these (the response should identify at least three strategies and explain each one in concrete terms):
 Individualize instruction.
 Form study groups of students with similar abilities and interests.
 Teach complex cognitive skills within the context of specific topics.
 Provide opportunities for independent study.
 Engage students in challenging public service projects.
 Encourage students to set high goals.
 Seek outside resources (e.g., mentors) through which students can develop special talents.
