Anchored Instruction and Enhanced Anchored Instruction

Select a specific skill that you want to teach. Identify the grade level, curriculum area, and the specific skill. Describe how this skill could be taught using (1) procedural instruction, (2) anchored instruction, and (3) enhanced anchored instruction. Be specific and label the parts of your response with 1, 2, and 3 corresponding to the three types of instruction mentioned above. Read through the examples that others have given and do not repeat the same skill! Anchors away!! :)

Give an example of an educational skill (just ONE) that students in K-12 need to or might want to be fluent (quick and accurate) in doing. What are the sub-skills needed to be fluent in the skill you identified? Why is this a skill that needs to be fluent? What problems could it cause if the student is not fluent in the skill. (Select a skill other than math facts.)
