[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not really remember my own middle school science. But I know it involved textbooks and old school rote memorization of facts. Amplify is part of a recent movement away from this style of learning in favor of requiring younger students to engage more deeply, thinking more critically, make connections to real-world scenarios, also build writing skills etc. [/quote] How exactly are the students going to do inquiry based learning if they don’t have content down, especially in science? As to writing, if the kids are not even on grade level with reading and barely reading at 3rd grade level, how are they going to be able to write a coherent few paragraphs? It sounds like it’s going to be a disaster especially in the title 1 schools where kids get absolutely no content building at home. I agree, it sounds like the Lucy Calkins of reading and we know how that all went.[/quote]
