 * Four Cognitive Processors **




 * Which Processors Are Involved? **

**Activity**: Read this passage about a sports event: //Although he has had mediocre results all season, Moseley pulled off a victory today in the World Moguls competition. Consequently, he secured a spot on the U.S. Olympic Moguls Ski Team. He could not have done better. //

Now select the processing system (context, meaning, orthographic, phonological) or systems that might support each of the following activities associated with the reading above. Most tasks draw on more than one processing system.


 * Recognizing that the right meaning of spot is "a place on the team roster.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Noticing that the word world uses an unusual spelling for the /er/ sound.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Sounding out mediocre and coming up with "med-i-o-cray."
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Sounding out mediocre, mispronouncing it, and correcting the pronunciation after the meaning of the word is recognized.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">After reading the phrase pulled off, recognizing that it is a figure of speech and it means "accomplished in spite of the odds."
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Looking at the word mogul and noticing that the spelling could be "mogle" just by syllable spelling rules.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Noticing that every word that ends in a /v/ sound spells it with ve.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Aurally remembering the lines of this story after hearing them read aloud several times.
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Knowing that consequently means "as a consequence of."
 * <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Reading and writing words such as all and off as whole words, without thinking consciously about the individual letter-sound relationships in them.

<span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">Each student writes one idea in each box in one row that addresses the question at the top of the page. When the student is finished, the paper is passed to the next student who writes one new key idea in each box in the next row that addresses the question at the top of the page. This continues until the chart is completed. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 13pt;">
