Disciplinary Literacy is about to go from theory to game plan-taking students from superficial understanding to deep content expertise. And guess what? ReLeah Lent's big secret lies in highlighting each content area's differences-advancing a discipline-specific model in which literacy is used as a tool for strategic thinking, reading, writing, and doing within each field. That's right - no more reading strategies used uniformly across the curriculum. Instead, This Is Disciplinary Literacy helps content-area teachers put into action the key literacies of their specialties. Teaching science? Students must evaluate evidence and question as they read. History? Comparing and contrasting sources and interpreting the import of events are key. Writing in Math? Accuracy is favoured over elaboration and craft. Reading fiction in ELA? Synthesizing and attuning to voice and figurative language reign supreme. Students fully own knowledge because your instruction zeroes in on the academic habits that matter most. | This Is Disciplinary Literacy by Releah Lent, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
