I learned that content literacy is what we teach and how we teach it, and this is where literacy instruction comes in. with the goal being increasing student's comprehension, ability to write, and become a competent learner of that skill. A previous example of content literacy would be the skill on Author's Perspective that I taught my students. I defined, described the skill, demonstrated through CAI, and modeled the skill through the use of examples and a skit that I wrote. The activity was successful and my students were more engaged. They were amused at the skit but were able to understand best when we discussed the meaning afterward. The skit necessitated being completed after a snow/weather related day and I would have changed the order of the lesson by doing the skit before the computer assisted instruction. (CAI)
