In Language Arts: Patterns of Practice by Gail E. Tompkins, the focus of chapter one is how students learn. Children organize information learned into schemas. A schema is an organizational system in the brain that is broken into three categories: categories of knowledge, what determines a category and what is included in the category, and how they connect to each other. When a child learns something new, it causes disequilibrium of the brain. The children work the new information into one of the
