Prompt: In developing the three skills recognized in the article reading, writing and research, the relationship between mentor and apprentice must seek what particular goal pertaining to learning?

I believe as a mentor to an apprentice a clear understanding of the definition of knowledge would be a place to start to assure that both are beginning on the same page of discovery. This is what the author of the article coins as "meeting students where they are at." I think this is an important concept to adhere to a mentor's process of teaching but I believe they must include an encouragement to seek beyond that position. I think with a clear understanding of how to do reserch would implement
this notion to seek beyond what they already know.
In the article it seems to sum up the idea of "craft-quality of inquiry" by stating that first the subject matter is appropriate for investigation and explanation, secondly how the subject matter is examined, and thirdly what constitutes evidence and finally what claims are valid. In teaching this to students, clarity on absorbing information would be more defined. I think students would better understand the concept of examining information to learn rather than regurgitating the information to just get by. In turn the process would help them to move beyond a place of security and into a world of discovery. I think students would have more gratification in the outcome of obtaining knowledge rather than feeling strapped into the rut of linear education.
Clearly this relationship between mentor and apprentice demonstrates multiple facets of developing a students learning career. The three R's in the article should be inclusive in this learning career. In writing a student can learn self expression, in reading a student practices comprehension, and research leads to developing your own ideas or choosing a side. All of these concepts lead to a better understanding of knowledge.
