Description:

Because literacy is not just the English teacher's jobThink literacy is just for English teachers? Not anymore. Nor should it be when you consider that each discipline has its own unique values and means of expression. These days, it's up to all teachers to communicate what it means to be literate in their disciplines. Here, finally, is a book ambitious enough to tackle the topic across all major subject areas. Smagorinsky and his colleagues provide an insider's lens on both the states of their fields and their specific literacy requirements, including: Reviews of the latest issues and research Scenario-based activities for reflection and discussion Considerations of the textual forms and conventions required in all major disciplines

Synopsis:

Middle and high school students must become proficient readers and writers to successfully meet the requirements of the secondary curricula and be adequately prepared for college, employment, and citizenship. Literacy Across the Curriculum is a guide for educators who are concerned with how students experience literacy instruction across the secondary school curriculum and need strategies for raising student performance levels. Each chapter of this edited volume is co-authored by a professor and classroom teacher within a particular academic discipline, and provides a set of 4 or 5 provocative scenarios to illuminate the decisions teachers need to make in order to successfully incorporate literacy instruction within that content area.
