Integrating literacy into the content area curriculum is an important consideration for all content area teachers when planning units of instruction. How literacy can play a role in supporting student learning and how students’ literacy skills can be supported within the content area instruction should be considered.
For this assignment, create a 750-1,000 word plan about a cross-disciplinary unit you would implement in your classroom that includes literacy (reading, writing, speaking, listening). Using the “Literacy Unit Plan” template choose a minimum of two standards, at least one for the content area of your field experience classroom or that you plan to teach and at least one supportive literacy standard to focus on for the unit.
Support the deliverable with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
