1. What was the most interesting idea you encountered as you read the chapter?
The idea that was most interesting to me stated that all language is dialogic in the sense that is designed to communicate with an "assumed other." It gave the example that a person wirting on a fan fiction site is assuming a particular type of reader such as a fellow fan. This to meis very true. When writing, you are going to use different style and words depending on who is going to read it!
2. What connections can you make between Gee's critique and Sir Ken Robinsons' critique of traditional schooling?
Gee and Sir Ken Robinson seem to have the same thoughts and opinions about traditional schooling. Both agree that students aren't able to show and apply their creativity. Students are instead programmed to learn a certain way and be a certain something in the world.

3. How did this book change or support your understanding of good teaching?
THis book definatly supports my theories of good teaching. It talks about students being seen as individuales and not just anoher student. I believe that this is very important. Teachers need to get to know their students and understand how they learn.
