Welcome to Ms. Lawson's Biology wiki!

1. This week's chapter from a Framework for Understanding Poverty discussed the significance of communicating in casual vs. formal speech register. The key idea that I took from the chapter is that it is important for teachers both to recognize the validity of the casual register, and to teach students how to express their ideas in the formal register in the school setting. Students who are fluent in the formal register, as well as the casual register, have improved career prospects, so part of the job of teachers and the education system is to teach formal communication.
