Disciplinary Literacy in ELA

Here is the final component of my blog and disciplinary literacy study by focusing on how this applies to ELA.  This covers the types of texts that are read and created in ELA, the questions effective readers ask, the terminology and concepts that need to be properly understood to ask these questions, and examples of engagement strategies to introduce these skills.

In my presentation, I have drawn primarily on the work of Lee & Spratley, Smagorinsky, the Common Core State Standards, and Lattimer.
