Problem
Scenario: You and your colleagues are passionate about exploring a range of resources to address the Literacy TPEs, teach the standards, and practice literacy skills-including integrating the arts, new literacies, such as technology, and the use of a wide range of literature and informational texts. You've found great value in sharing and learning from with others, so you decide to begin a blog on these topics to connect with other like-minded educators.
Refer to Ch. 10, "Critical Thinking and Critical Literacy," of All Children Read to research these topics for your blog.
Make a blog with 1 entry.
Address the following in your blog entry:
1) Explain the importance of using a range of literature, technology, and other resources to teach standards and enhance literacy skills.
2) Advocate for the use of the arts to enhance all children's literacy development.
3) Explain how integration of reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in all content areas builds critical thinking and overall literacy.
4) Define new literacies and their role in the K-8 classroom.
