COG3: Designed to be Implemented in Distributed Space to Advance Knowledge Sharing Beyond the Four Corners of the Textbook
Seek and Ye Shall Find
User: I’m interested in using COG as an acronym for a disciplinary reading instructional strategy applied during a three-week inquiry unit in middle and high school. Can you make five unique suggestions for what each letter in the acronym might stand for?
Smith4: Certainly! Here are five unique suggestions for the acronym COG related to a disciplinary reading instructional strategy for middle and high school students:
1. Comprehension, Organization, Growth:
- **Comprehension:** Employ strategies for understanding text, such as making predictions, questioning, and summarizing.
- **Organization:** Teach students how to organize their thoughts and findings using graphic organizers, outlines, or concept maps.
- **Growth:** Encourage reflection on learning and strategies to continue developing reading and analytical skills.
2. Context, Observation, Generalization:
- **Context:** Help students understand the historical, cultural, or subject-specific context of the texts they read.
- **Observation:** Guide students to observe key details, arguments, and evidence presented in texts.
- **Generalization:** Lead students to synthesize information and draw general conclusions from their readings applicable to the broader topic of the inquiry unit.
3. Critical, Original, Guided:
- **Critical:** Develop critical thinking skills by analyzing the author's purpose, identifying biases, and evaluating sources.
- **Original:** Encourage students to make original connections and interpretations based on their analysis and understanding.
- **Guided:** Implement guided reading sessions where teachers provide scaffolding and support while progressively releasing responsibility to the students.
4. Connection, Opinion, Grasp:
- **Connection:** Foster connections between the text and the students' own experiences or prior knowledge.
- **Opinion:** Teach students to distinguish fact from opinion and to form their own evidence-based opinions on the topics they are studying.
- **Grasp:** Ensure that students have a firm grasp on key concepts, vocabulary, and ideas necessary for understanding the texts and topics at hand.
5. Curiosity, Objectives, Gist:
- **Curiosity:** Stimulate curiosity by presenting thought-provoking questions or challenges that need to be addressed through disciplinary reading.
- **Objectives:** Clearly define learning objectives that align with the reading material and the inquiry unit's overall goals.
- **Gist:** Teach students to identify the main ideas or the "gist" of the readings, helping them to summarize and focus on what is most important.
Each set of suggestions aligns with various aspects of a comprehensive reading strategy that could be implemented over a three-week inquiry unit, focusing on different disciplinary reading skills including understanding, analysis, synthesis, and application.

The first pass through the wild of the Internet searching for words and word particles that tend to co-occur in sentence strings produced an interesting assortment of words closely associated with a view of reading as an isolated, independent activity involving autonomous texts with determinate meanings. First on the list is direct teaching of comprehension strategies, including predicting, questioning, and summarizing, staples of the 1970s and 80s—all individual cognitive behaviors designed to recover meaning from text. Then comes organizers—graphic maps, outlines, etc. Finally, the escape hatch, the show of good intentions, the “encourage reflection.”
Five on the list represents thinking about how to rev up the individual reading machines in a required course by provoking curiosity. My favorites from the 1990s included the “Anticipation Guide” and the “Instant Expert” experience. If you’re interested in them, let me know or Google them. The bot may know about them as well. Fact and Opinion, Activating Prior Knowledge, pre teaching vocabulary, identifying author’s purpose—the bread and butter of my secondary reading methods courses came to light in this first pass. I tried again.

User: But you left out “inquiry.” This strategy will engage every reader in the class inquiring into a sliver of a broad class topic. Students will be arranged in inquiry teams with assigned subtopics that are central to the main topic. If any specific reading strategies are directly taught, the COG disciplinary reading inquiry unit instructional design tool will include options or openings for local design.
Smith4: In light of the additional context for the COG acronym and the focus on inquiry, here's a refined set of suggestions with particular emphasis on the inquiry aspect:
1. Curiosity-Driven, Outcome-Oriented, Guided Inquiry:
- **Curiosity-Driven:** Ignite students' natural curiosity by encouraging questions and exploration within their subtopic that contributes to the broad class topic.
- **Outcome-Oriented:** Align inquiry activities with specific learning outcomes, allowing students to understand the purpose behind their investigation.
- **Guided Inquiry:** Provide a structured framework that helps students navigate their research, with flexibility for teachers to tailor instruction according to the needs of their students and local parameters.
2. Collaborative, Open-Ended, Grounded Inquiry:
- **Collaborative:** Promote teamwork within inquiry teams, allowing students to collaborate on researching and understanding different facets of their subtopic.
- **Open-Ended:** Offer open-ended questions and challenges that stimulate critical thinking and allow multiple avenues for students to explore within the subtopic.
- **Grounded Inquiry:** Ensure that inquiry is grounded in disciplinary reading, with opportunities for students to apply various reading strategies to texts related to their subtopic.
3. Contextual, Original, Generative Inquiry:
- **Contextual:** Encourage students to consider the context of their readings, relating findings back to the subtopic and broader class topic.
- **Original:** Support the creation of original insights and encourage contributions that are distinctively the students’ own within their inquiry teams.
- **Generative Inquiry:** Design the inquiry process to be generative, sparking further questions, deeper research, and ongoing learning opportunities.
4. Cross-Text, Objective Analysis, Group Inquiry:
- **Cross-Text:** Use strategies for students to compare and contrast information across different texts to gain a well-rounded perspective on their subtopic.
- **Objective Analysis:** Teach students to objectively analyze their findings without bias, focusing on evidence-based conclusions within the disciplinary framework.
- **Group Inquiry:** Foster a team-based approach to reading and inquiry, with team roles and interactive activities designed to utilize the strengths of each team member.
5. Continuous, Observational, Guided Pathways:
- **Continuous:** Embed continuous feedback loops where students present findings, reflect, and receive input to refine their inquiry process.
- **Observational:** Coach students in observational strategies, allowing them to become adept at noticing patterns, discrepancies, and key takeaways from their readings.
- **Guided Pathways:** Offer various pathways within the structured inquiry that allow for local design and customization based on student interests and instructional goals.
These COG structures allow for the flexibility of local design while ensuring that disciplinary reading strategies are applied in a systematic way that supports the inquiry into the sliver of the broad class topic. This approach balances structure with autonomy, ensuring that each reader is actively engaged and each team can delve into their subtopic comprehensively.
This second pass produced mostly questionable material with one exception. I felt ambivalent about #5, part of me resonated with images of continuous feedback loops, guided pathways within structured inquiry, and the offbeat suggestion to teach students to read “observationally,” interesting but vague. In fact, nothing in #5 is actionable. So I looked harder at #3. The idea of “relating findings back to the subtopic and broader class topic” is a core element in the COG design model. The idea of “generative inquiry” with the aim of “sparking further questions, deeper research” nails down a tricky pedagogical challenge, easily bungled with a heavy or uncertain hand. I bit on #3 and opened the door for refinement.

User: This is option three: 3. Contextual, Original, Generative Inquiry:
- **Contextual:** Encourage students to consider the context of their readings, relating findings back to the subtopic and broader class topic.
- **Original:** Support the creation of original insights and encourage contributions that are distinctively the students’ own within their inquiry teams.
- **Generative Inquiry:** Design the inquiry process to be generative, sparking further questions, deeper research, and ongoing learning opportunities.
Redo the unit in light of these specifications. It’s especially important to attend to context inside each small group. The subtopics will be 1. The Making of the Constitution, 2. The Constitution and Westward Expansion, 3. Remaking the Constitution after the Civil War, 4. Supreme Court Decisions and Constitutional Change, 5. The Bill of Rights and the Amendments.
Each group is responsible for teaching the other groups their insights and knowledge from their inquiry. Then the students will take an essay test on their understanding of the Constitution, which will be scored according to a negotiated rubric. Write the plan!
Smith4: Unit Plan: Living Originalism and the US Constitution
Objective: Enhance students' understanding of the US Constitution through exploring historical context, cultivating original thought, and fostering a generative inquiry process.
**Unit Duration:** 4-6 weeks
Weeks 1-2: Introduction and Group Organization
- Introduce the main theme: "Living Originalism" and the importance of the US Constitution historically and today.
- Divide students into small groups, each assigned one of the subtopics:
1. The Making of the Constitution
2. The Constitution and Westward Expansion
3. Remaking the Constitution after the Civil War
4. Supreme Court Decisions and Constitutional Change
5. The Bill of Rights and the Amendments
- Guide students in negotiating individual research questions within their subtopics.
Weeks 3-4: Contextual and Original Research
- Contextual: Have students research the historical, political, and social context of their assigned time frames and how it affected constitutional development. They should relate their findings to the broader class topic and their subtopic's specific context.
- Original: Support students in analyzing their research to form original insights. Encourage them to go beyond restating facts to developing their interpretations, backed by evidence.
- Establish a class timeline on a bulletin board or online platform, allowing students to add information sequentially, seeing the Constitution's evolution in context.
Week 5: Generative Inquiry Process
- Have groups share preliminary findings. Facilitate discussions that spark further questions and insights.
- Assign each group to prepare a short presentation or teaching session to share their insights with the rest of the class, including active engagement strategies like discussions or games to make their sessions interactive.
Week 6: Synthesis and Assessment
- Groups conduct their teaching sessions, transferring knowledge and facilitating class discussions.
- After all groups have presented, students individually prepare for an essay test.
- Together with students, create a rubric for the essay that encompasses understanding of historical context, original thinking, and synthesis of information across subtopics.
Assessment Strategies:
- Portfolio: Throughout the unit, each student will compile a portfolio containing research notes, drafts of ideas, and reflections on the learning process.

By the end of the unit, students will have enriched their understanding of the US Constitution by examining its historical evolution and considering its ongoing significance through a process of contextual research, original analysis, and generative inquiry.
User: I will paste in your previous response. Please add substance where needed regarding each point below.
1. I like the timeline idea. Elaborate on how student additions to the timeline should be sanctioned by the whole small group. The group should agree on the language added. The timeline should be required to be used later in each small group presentation to anchor new information presented through digital media and public speaking.
2. Specify digital strategies for small groups to work together to keep track of individual contributions to the subgroup topic. Also include one digital strategy in addition to the timeline to provide small groups with opportunities to link to the larger context of the class. For example, one student might know a lot about a Supreme Court decision impacting westward migration, another student in another group might be an expert in the legislation that the Supreme Court affirmed or struck down.
3. Beef up the portfolio strategy. What kinds of artifacts should students select? What reflective analysis should be required? How will students pull together their portfolios for presentation? To whom? For what purpose? Should they be accessible to external audiences? Through what safe and secure mechanisms?
4. Provide structured opportunities to use AI as a research tool. Ask students to write one page memos periodically about this use. Provide staged teacher presentations and modeling of AI usage.
Smith4: 1. Timeline Collaboration:
The timeline will serve as a visual and collaborative anchor for each small group's research journey. Each addition to the timeline should reflect a consensus within the group. Before an event or piece of information is added, it should be discussed and agreed upon by all members, ensuring accuracy and shared understanding. The language used to describe the timeline events should be clear, neutral, and informative, allowing any external viewer to grasp the significance of the entries without bias.
As students prepare for their final presentation, they must integrate the timeline into their digital media display, highlighting how each group's findings tie back to the larger historical narrative. This will not only reinforce the chronology of their research but will also enable the audience to contextualize the information within a broader historical framework.
2. Digital Collaboration and Contextual Linkage:
For tracking contributions and facilitating research, a collaborative digital platform such as Google Workspace or Microsoft Teams could be employed. Students can work on shared documents, contribute to collective knowledge banks, and annotate their findings with comments or suggestions.
To link small group findings to the class-wide study of the US Constitution, a class wiki could serve as a central repository where students post brief synopses of their research findings. This wiki would be structured with tags or categories that allow for cross-referencing, thus enabling students to draw connections between disparate research areas like Supreme Court decisions and their legislative underpinnings.
3. Portfolio Development:
Students should be encouraged to include a variety of artifacts within their portfolios, such as research notes, annotated bibliographies, timeline entries, draft presentations, reflective writing, and multimedia components. Reflective analysis might involve students discussing their research process, the evolution of their understanding, and how their findings relate to the living nature of the Constitution.
Portfolios should culminate in a final presentation, delivered to classmates, teachers, and perhaps family members. Additionally, consideration could be given to share portfolios with an outside audience through a secure digital platform that requires password access, ensuring privacy and control over who can view the students' work.
4. AI as a Research Tool:
AI technology can assist students in scouring vast databases for scholarly articles, historical documents, and current analysis. Encouraging students to document their use of AI through one-page memos will foster critical thinking about the tool's efficacy and the validity of the information retrieved.
Teachers should demonstrate how to use AI responsibly, showing how it can help formulate research queries, generate summaries of lengthy texts, or suggest additional resources. This training will involve showing students how to critically evaluate AI-generated information and cross-reference it for accuracy. Teacher-led sessions can initially walk students through this process, eventually allowing them to perform similar tasks independently or within their small groups.
User: Elaborate on this section. Include three specific examples of instructional behaviors.

Smith4: In structuring "AI as a Research Tool" within the instructional unit, the teacher will enact several specific instructional behaviors to guide student engagement with AI technology. Here are three examples of instructional behaviors related to the utilization of AI in the classroom:
1. **Modeling Effective Use of AI:**
The teacher will begin by demonstrating how AI can be used to advance students’ research. For example, they might show students how to input effective search queries into an AI tool to find reputable sources on a particular facet of the US Constitution. The teacher might use a smart board to model this process, showing how to refine the search terms based on the results provided by the AI. In doing so, students will learn best practices in articulating research questions and learn how AI can serve as a starting point for deeper investigation.
2. **Facilitating AI-Assisted Analysis:**
Another instructional behavior will be to guide students in using AI to analyze complex texts. For instance, the teacher could illustrate how AI can help students understand a Federalist Paper by summarizing it, clarifying difficult passages, or pointing out key themes and how they relate to the concept of originalism. In this case, the teacher acts as an intermediary, ensuring students don't take AI summaries at face value but use them as a means to engage more deeply with the material, questioning interpretations and comparing them with their own readings and other scholarly analyses.
3. **Leading Critical Evaluation Exercises:**
Finally, the teacher will conduct sessions on the critical evaluation of AI-generated information. For example, they might provide students with an AI-generated report on a constitutional amendment’s interpretation and challenge the students to assess its reliability. They would do this by checking the facts against primary source documents, looking for logical coherence, evaluating the soundness of arguments presented, and contrasting them with established scholarly work. By leading such exercises, the teacher instills a habit of critical thinking in students, ensuring they develop a discerning eye for the quality and trustworthiness of the data they collect.
By engaging in these instructional behaviors, the teacher ensures that students are not passive consumers of AI-generated content but rather skilled users who leverage AI as an effective tool in their academic research. Through modeling, facilitating, and leading critical evaluations, the teacher helps students gain confidence in integrating AI into their work while maintaining a commitment to rigorous scholarly standards.
At some point you know when you’ve gotten about all you can handle. I usually ask for a recap and try to extract as much juice as I can. Then I see if I can create an AI image for that last shake of the pepper grinder.
