1. Chapter 9 discusses language. Language can be written or spoken. When discussing language whole-word, phonics, and whole-language are mentioned. These are all concepts that are used when teaching language to students. Along with phonics and whole-word are indirect and direct access. These concepts help us understand if something is recognized immediately or not. Chapter 9 also discusses comprehension and ambiguity. When a statement is abiguious it can affect comprehension.
2. I think I have a clear understanding of all concepts in Chapter 9. I really enjoyed reading this chapter as a Language Arts teacher. There was many terms and concepts that I had heard of previously.
3. As a Language Arts teacher, language is extremely important. Language is incorporated into every part of my teaching. The students are required to read, write, listen, or speak throughout the class. Last year when I taught science at the begining of the year I would have ventured to say that language wasn't as important. After teaching for a very short period of time I realized that language is in all aspects of the classroom. Students have to use reading, writing, speaking and listening in all subject areas.
