Students can literally flag me to slow down (yellow) or stop (red) altogether.<br /><br />Soon, my eldest daughter will learn to drive and I have to remind her of the importance of these lights.<br /><br />My point is, it is not just the misconceptions we have to watch out for. But also the hidden meanings, and the other meanings of what we say....or don't say for that matter.<br /><br />1 more thing, there are things we have to insist kids learn. Red light for stop is one of them. One day, your 2-year old will be old enough to learn that. Watching for cues when students are receptive to learn is just as tricky as watching out for misconceptions and meaning.<br /><br />thanks for the short, sweet and reflective post.Malynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03817938355737942929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964889903484807623.post-444254426707992402010-05-30T20:56:49.113-07:002010-05-30T20:56:49.113-07:00I think asking that question is key.

Trying to identify misconceptions and their root is tough, but gets easier with experience.David Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06277427735527075341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5964889903484807623.post-78785214726731185482010-05-30T19:33:47.976-07:002010-05-30T19:33:47.976-07:00I never thought about 2x looking like twenty-somet...I never thought about 2x looking like twenty-something.
