To develop strong disciplinary literacy skills, middle and high
school students need to engage with diverse types of challenging
texts in every content area. This book provides a blueprint for
constructing literacy-rich instructional units in English language
arts, science, and social studies. The authors describe how to
design interconnected text sets and plan lessons that support
learning and engagement before, during, and after reading.
Presented are ways to build academic vocabulary and background
knowledge, teach research-based comprehension strategies, and guide
effective discussions and text-based writing activities. Chapters
also cover how to teach students to write argumentative,
informative, and narrative essays, and to conduct
discipline-specific inquiry. Special features include sample text
sets and 24 reproducible planning templates and other teaching
tools; purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download
and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11"
size.
