Problems Disconnect between literacy and content methods courses Lesson and unit planning was taught in methods courses prior to learning about academic language. Students are not experiencing disciplinary literacy instruction in the field. Limited opportunities for application

“How will I find time to do literacy in addition to teaching my content?” 1. Find the literacies of your discipline. 2. Teach content through literacy.

Purpose of the Assignment For students to demonstrate their understanding of, and apply their knowledge of, academic language when lesson planning. Improve a unit plan instead of creating another Fuse content and literacy instruction.

Academic Language Demands Language Functions: active verbs (Bloom) Discourse: ways of talking and writing Syntax: conventions for organizing ideas in written form Vocabulary: 1.) words with subject specific meanings, 2.) general academic vocab., and 3.)subject-specific words

Goals of the Assignment Justifications: Emphasis on justifying instructional decisions based upon unit goals and discipline. Focus on Skills: What are you requiring your student to do? Is it appropriate? Do they have the knowledge and understandings to do it? How do you know this? How will you support them?
