I love this post, Ben! I have a few questions.
Sometimes I marvel at the fact that by this time of year, my 3rd and 4th graders seem to be processing looooong extended chunks. I roll the question out with lots of details and make them wait til the end of it to answer, by adding the name of the interlocutor (either, ‘class” or an individual student at the very end).
‘When Brandon’s mom says that a dog is a big responsibility, how does Brandon respond, Jaime? or, ‘So after Brandon says that he’s almost 9, and that he IS responsible, and that his sister has a pet rat, what does his mom, who really doesn’t want a dog, say to him?’
Are we saying that’s it’s better to have uniformly-sized delectable chunks w/sprinkles, or that when the Ss have demonstrated a ravenous appetite, we can serve up an extra deep-dish crusted meat-lovers pizza with 4 kinds of cheese?
I saw this happening in Julie’s classroom a few days ago when I went to her school again.
My response to that is intuitive and you will probably get better answers from our research champions Eric and Michael and Jim and them all, but it seems to me that if you have done a great job of chunking with simple uniform sized chunks with the kids in the past for a year or two, it then becomes easy for them to decipher same when many of them are lined up on the plate, ready for inhalation. That they can understand something like this example you gave, Alisa:
…so after Brandon says that he’s almost 9, and that he IS responsible, and that his sister has a pet rat, what does his mom, who really doesn’t want a dog, say to him?…
That’s about seven chunks of deep dish action right there. How can they understand it? In the same way a one year old, apparently, can understand large amounts of input from those in the room, of course w/o being able to verbalize a response.
I think that this is just a tribute to your work, Alisa. I say congratulations to you on getting results like this!
And then there is the piece about younger kids not knowing they can’t do it so they just do it naturally.
