Descriere This Is Disciplinary Literacy: Reading, Writing, Thinking, and Doing . . . Content Area by Content Area - Releah Cossett Lent

\n \nDisciplinary Literacy is about to go from theory to game plan--taking students from superficial understanding to deep content expertise. And guess what? ReLeah Lent's big secret lies in highlighting each content area's differences--advancing a discipline-specific model in which literacy is used as a tool for strategic thinking, reading, writing, and doing within each field. \n \n That's right--no more reading strategies used uniformly across the curriculum. Instead, This Is Disciplinary Literacy helps content-area teachers put into action the key literacies of their specialties. Teaching science? Students must evaluate evidence and question as they read. History? Comparing and contrasting sources and interpreting the import of events are key. Writing in Math? Accuracy is favored over elaboration and craft. Reading fiction in ELA? Synthesizing and attuning to voice and figurative language reign supreme. Students fully own knowledge because your instruction zeroes in on the academic habits that matter most. \n \n Content area by content area, ReLeah shows how to immediately incorporate these literacies into lessons, units, and project-based learning. Inside you'll find: \n \n- Spotlights on all major disciplines that highlight how implementation looks in real classrooms \n- Extend and Adapt sections with ideas for augmenting activities for students who need different challenges or support, tips for companion activities, and digital sources for short texts and video \n- Q&A sections bringing both reassurance and get-it-done advice \n- New ways to re-boot essential research-based practices that work in any field--reading, writing, inquiry, and collaboration \n- Free companion website featuring a complete PD workshop with PowerPoint slides for ready-to-go professional learning \nAnd best of all, students not only engage in the genuine intellectual challenges of the disciplines--they are eager to do so! This Is Disciplinary Literacy gives students entrance to the global communities of practice, and provides schools, districts, and teachers with a proven approach that makes college-and-career-readiness a reality. \n \n Featured Book: \n Common Core CPR\n
