Beginning Literacy Design












Brief sample of Literacy Design Templates: 




Template tasks create work for students...


A template task is a fill in the blank "shell" that allows teachers to insert the texts to be read, writing to be produced, and content to be address. This method allows us to direct students back to the text to search for answers, evidence, clues to meaning - rather than just supplying the answer.




Task 1
(Insert Question) After reading (text state here) write a/an (essay, report) that defines (term or concept) and explains (content). Support your discussion with evidence from the text(s). What (position, conclusion or implications) can you draw?


Task 2
Be sure to acknowledge competing views.


Task 3
Give examples from past or current events or issues to illustrate and clarify your position.
