[MOSAIC] Marzano Strategies and MOT strategies/To Understand

[Joy]

Ellin,
  Thanks for adding your thinking to our conversation. I appreciate your comments, but I'm trying to understand what you are saying. So let me see if I've caught the drift. MOT is more about teaching students about thinking while they are reading, more about literate mindedness. Marzano is more an expression or record of what they do with their thinking? 
   
  MOT is an intrinsic action, Marzano is more extrinsic?
   
  MOT is like doing wind sprints to build stamina, Marzano is like playing the game or running the race?
   
  MOT is the key, Marzano is the map??
   
  In To Understand you talk about surface structure systems, is Marzano more of a surface structure system? Marzano helps students demonstrate proficiency?
   
  I'm sure there is more I could do; I could design projects that incorporate more of Marzano, continuing using MOT to help students "get there" so to speak. 
   
  Please let me know if I am way off base. Thanks again for adding to my understanding.
