What’s wrong with this picture?
Three Literacy Frameworks • Func>onal – “reflected in a curriculum that teaches students the skills deemed necessary to successfully par>cipate in school and society”
• Cultural – “teaching of morals and values, with a curriculum that includes the classics or ‘Great Books’”
• Progressive – “engage in the process of learning to read and write based on themes and topics of interest to students, with vocabulary related to their lives”

• For Wri>ng • Examining mentor texts • Inquiry-‐based research • Wri>ng workshop
• For Listening and Speaking • Mul>media composi>on • Project and porlolio-‐based assessment

• During Reading • Mini-‐lessons in literary devices and analysis • Text pairing • Literature circles
• Amer Reading • Dynamic readings • Performa>ve assessments • Mul>modal composi>ons
Recommendations • For Reading and Literature • Integrate content area literacy strategies and young adult literature

• Invite mul>media composi>on • For Teaching and Learning • Create inquiry-‐driven curriculum and instruc>on
