How can you use literacy tools used to help students practice the behaviors of scientists? With a disciplinary literacy approach, science teachers can focus on teaching their specialized content by showing students the literacies that truly support scientific thinking - so students can read, write, think, investigate, and communicate as scientists.
This On-Your-Feet Guide will help teachers: INTRODUCTION
- Plan instruction that engages students' natural inquiry and curiosity;
- Apprentice students toward deeper understanding of scientific concepts, terms, understandings, and text;
- Help students use their new learning to create, communicate, and participate in science;
- Teach skills required by science standards and frameworks; and
- Work with colleagues to design instructional units that incorporate both deeper content learning and science-specific literacy skills.
The strategies in this guide will help you teach students to read, write, think, and do as scientists!
