[LM_NET] TAR: Authentic Assessments in Literacy Instruction

[M L <rylor4@GMAIL.COM>]

Hello!

One of my literacy teachers is looking for authentic assessments in literacy
instruction. She knows different strategies to teach our students but she
would like other activities to help show students how to use those
strategies to cross over in other classes, not just language arts. Since she
is not teaching content (like history) she is trying to show students
when/where they will need these strategies. She gave the example of reading
out loud. Most people don’t read out loud unless to a younger student (which
they do). I suggested during presentations they are reading out loud from
notes or from memorization. I hope this all makes sense. We are a school
with 1st-12th grades any level is welcome. I’ll post a hit.



Thanks in advance!
Michelle
