CUNY/UA Disciplinary Literacy in Science Professional Learning #2

Welcome, CUNY/UA science teachers! We look forward to a fruitful day of learning with you on Tuesday, December 2. Our objectives:
1. Review text engineering principles and 3 Levels of Text Questioning strategy
2. Differentiate between activating and building background knowledge, and plan to do both within science lessons
3. Explore the research behind the Talk-Read-Talk-Write protocol, and apply it to a science lesson
4. Construct a crosswalk of text types, crosscutting concepts, and discourse stems for science classrooms

5. Leverage background knowledge to spark and drive discussion throughout an ELA lesson
