Abstract~

My main argument/thesis is that every student needs special help to learn. A teacher can not just always be correcting the student, instead they need to help by showing interaction with the student. In Rose's piece- this occurs when Rose is trying to help Millie. Rose finds that once he actually shows Millie to mark up her test and to interact herself with the problem she begins to understand. This is important because it shows the interaction. In Delpit's piece- this occurs when Delpit is trying to use the open classroom effect. Delpit learns that she can not have the student just do their own thing, instead the student needs to have the teacher there showing and guiding them through interaction. This helps the black students do better. The significance of my argument is that in both texts Rose and Delpit try to help many ways but do not figure it out until they both use interaction with their students.
