Learning VS. Acquisition

The students:Learning-Looking up words in the dictionary-shows intent of learning
Learning-Make a Venn Diagram to compare two stories-again student is intentianally breaking down the story.
Learning-Acquistion-Part of a phonics program-or part of just teaching yourself to read through practice
Acquisition-read in round robin fashion-students are not being given direct instruction, they are reading to experience reading.\
Acquisition-correct peers when they make a mistake during reading-I chose this because this natuarlly happens when reading either with adults or peers.
Learning-identify words on a big book page that starts with the same sound-Teachers are providing the phonics program from a curriculum, traditional classroom.
Learning-group cards with classmates names on them with a specific criterion-  The teacher is looking for a specific skill to be taught.  The ending sounds of a name for example.
Learning/Acquisition-rhyming poetry and then discuss different spellings for the rhymes-the rhyming part is acquisition and then learning comes in when they are taught the different spellings.
Acquisition-asking a teacher to spell a word they do not know-does not come from a spelling program this make it Acquisition.
Acquisition-create a language experience story they have created with the teacher-this is the group working together to build reading, without specifically being taught.
Acquistion/Learning: work in pairs to arrange words from a familiar chant into sentences-this is both because you can do this as part of a curriculm or you can experience through your individual reading.
Learning:Divide words into syllables-this is not an experience based concept.
Learning:on a worksheet, draw a line from each word to the picture that starts with the same sound-this is intentional learning-they want them to know phonics
Learning:make alphabet books on different topics-the point is learning the alphabet not through reading, but being taught this to learn to read.

The teacher:
Learning:Pre-teaches vocabulary-this is done with the intent of learning language-The language is meant to be processed.
Learning/Acquistion-shared reading with a big book-I chose both because from both perspectives reading is meant to be experienced.  Sharing the book comes from the curriculum also which is learning.
Learning:Makes sure students read only things that fit their level-Learning becasue they are not able to ppick anything unless it is part of what needs to be learned.
Learning-have students segment words into phonmes-part of a phonics program
Acquisition-write words that students dictate for a story and then spell them together-again this is not a traditional way of teaching spelling by a list-you learn as you go.
Learning/Acquisition-ask students to look around the room for items that start with a certain letter-I chose both becasue this is a way for teachers and students to interact concepts, but it can also be part of teaching letter sounds to students.
Learning-uses decodable text-this is something on their level they can use-curriculm basesd
Acquisition:sets aside time for SSR-this supports the fact that students learn by reading-the more they read the better they will read.
Learning:Teaches Latin and Greek roots-knowledge of this will increase vocabulary and you only can do this by being taught the different roots.
Learning/Acquisition: Has students meet in literature-I chose this becasue both a traditional classrrom and regular classroom uses this.
Learning:conducts phonics drills-part of a structured program
Learning:choose predictable text-again, this can be used to teach a specifc skil by the teacher.
Learning/Acquisition-teaches students different comprehension skills-this can be done as text is read or part of a basal reader.
Learning/Acquisition:takes a picture walk of a new book-can be done in a traditional classroom or where language is just being used.
Learning:uses a variety of worksheets to teach different skills-Language is being taught or learned in a controlled manner.
