Molding Mini-Lesson Magic with Content Literacy
Picture the classroom that has the teacher ready to teach…to engage…to wave that magic wand over the watchful, enthusiastic adolescents, who return each day for more--dribble, dribble, shoot, slam dunk! You either have to BE that magician or be willing to include numerous best practice strategies in your reading/writing activities with students. We are expected to conduct meaningful mini-lessons in both reading and writing—across our content areas. And—we cannot afford to waste a minute! Learn how to conduct such content literacy mini-lessons with purpose, intent, and energy!
While Sue has taught English, literature, writing, and social studies to adolescents for over forty years, she has just recently retired from the education department at North Central College. For sixteen years, she taught/mentored teachers in undergraduate and graduate programs—both urban and suburban--with an emphasis on content reading/ literacy, integrated curriculum, methods of teaching middle school, teacher leadership, the new diversity and classroom management.
