Learning Sciences: stances in move 2

Stances in 'Introduction': Learning Sciences

(1) Select an 'Introduction'

(2) Select a move in that 'Introduction' (What is this?)

Learning Objectives & Strategies:
Explore stances used (A) to make move (B) to support move-making in Move 2
1. Understand what the 3 moves are? ('Introduction' & 3 Moves).
2. Look at the sentences that make move and the stances used.
3. Look at the supporting sentences and the stances used.
4. Compare why supporting sentences are differnt from move-making sentences.
5. Check out the ratios of stances used (A) to make move only & (B) overall in Move 2.
