Education thomas assignment

 

The literacy demands on students are increasingly more  challenging, emphasizing the need for students to be prepared to read,  write, and talk about the disciplines.

In this assignment, you will review state standards for embedding  literacy in the content areas. You will tabulate high-priority  standards, the skills needed to master them, and strategies to support  students learning those skills.

Step 1. Review
Review your state’s literacy standards for a specific content area. You may choose elementary, middle, or high school standards.

Step 2. Identify
Identify 5 power standards  (highest priority) and unpack the standards by identifying 3-5 specific  skills students need to master each standard.

Step 3. Tabulate
Create a one-page table  including the 5 standards, the 3-5 skills associated with each standard,  and a strategy for teaching each skill in the content area. Be sure to  cite research to support each strategy.
