2. Learning isn't something that is individual. Novices need steps (scaffolding) to become experts. These steps are shaped by other people, culture, and the activity that goes on in the person's life.
3. The MEAL structure we learn in high school offloads aspects of thinking because the formula is already there for us; we just have to insert our knowledge into it. It makes our writing and thinking more visible because no information will be missing. If we didn't have this structure, we might forget to analyze something, or we might forget to include evidence. This structure ensures that all the information is there and in the all the right places so teachers can easily locate these aspects.
4. Number 4 on the prompt is just a quote - I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with it so I will just interpret it.
Procedural facilitators are very important in education. The way the education system is structured, students rely heavily on instruction and are unsure of what to do without it. For example, I remember an exercise in class where you didn't give us any instruction just to see what would happen. We are all used to looking to you (and other teachers since they are authority figures) for directions that we were a little confused when you stood back and let us figure out what to do. Procedural facilitators help students reach their classroom goals and help explain things.
5. A community of practice is a group of people that collectively learn something and develop expertise in it. Its characteristics are that they share what they know so everyone can learn from each other. They share stories and experiences, and they are able to solve problems to accomplish specific tasks.
