Initial Foundational Learning (Module 1)

First, provide proof of attendance to the Early Release Face-to-Face PD professional learning by uploading your  "Content Area Lit. - Before/After Chart" (or an image/link to the shared PDF).  The blue column entitled "Before" should be completed. Additionally, the reflection question, “Which strand will I focus on for session #2?” should be completed.

Second, reflect on Session #1 and begin to answer the question, “What is content literacy?”.  Please include a description of a previous example of use of content literacy in your classroom based on what you learned in the Content Literacy Session. Consider the following questions:

• Did students engage in a specific focus area of Content Literacy? If so, which one(s)?
  
• Exactly how did you implement one of the 5 focus areas of Content Literacy?
• Was the activity successful? 
  
• Why or why not? What would have made it successful?
  
• If you were to repeat this lesson, what would you change based on what you have learned? In what ways would you modify you have modified this use of content literacy in your classroom to deepen incorporation of content literacy or involve an additional focus area?
  

You will submit these reflections now (in the format of your choosing) but know that you will be asked to revisit your response after completion of each session.

Fourth, review your curriculum standards for your grade level and provide a reflection (your choice of platform) connecting your curriculum to content literacy.  Be sure to cite specifics from your standards rather than generalities.

Lastly, you will need to include a screenshot of your canvas posting for "wow, wish and wonder" for the Digital Learning Competencies introduction.
