ReMAKE Literacy: Transforming ELA Through Hands-On Learning
Description
We know that good readers are active readers. They think, question, consider, uncover, and reflect. They put themselves into the minds of endearing characters or masterful authors as they analyze dialogue, make predictions, and solve problems. Students are doing this in classrooms and libraries around the world through discussions, research papers, charts, note taking, essays, and quizzes. But what if, instead they could take their understanding of reading and writing and develop it in visible, creative, and engaging ways? Outcomes for this session include a background in making and design thinking that enhances literacy learning. Learners will explore techniques to incorporate literature and making into any subject area. Digital tools and quality children’s literature will be shared so that all learners will leave with new ideas and resources to improve their practices.
