This week we are moving on to the Speaking and Listening and Language Standards.I have two options for you this week. Please only respond to one AND indicate in your response which one you are addressing.
PROMPT:
1. The standards call for a shift in the role of listening and viewing media that closely aligns with the active analytic work students are asked to do in the reading standards. What approaches for integrating “multiple sources of information” (such as digital media) do you already use or wish to integrate?
OR
2. “The language standards are written to suggest that language work should not be taught in isolation. Rather, language work should be interwoven across the day so that conventions, vocabulary, and craft moves become a seamless part of the reading, writing, speaking and listening already underway in your classroom.” How can the language standards, which include grammar and conventions, be taught through authentic writing? What specific steps can you take to integrate these more clearly?
Your response to the prompt is due by Monday evening, March 3.Then, respond to at least one of your fellow participant’s comments by Thursday, March 6.
Don’t forget to read chapter 11 in anticipation of next week’s prompt.
