Capturing Curiosity in Science Through Literacy
Local middle and high school teachers, Lauren Luedtke, Jeff Taylor, Julie King and Julie Blomquist, will describe and demonstrate lessons that guide students to use literacy like scientists. This is the second of a series of three workshops that examine literacy in the disciplines and how teachers can incorporate the Common Core Standards.*

and Technical Subjects 6–12 (pp. 64-66)

 

Text Types and Purposes

(1) Write arguments focused on discipline-specific content, introducing

and supporting claims through logical reasoning and use of relevant, accurate data and evidence

Research to Build and to Present Knowledge

(7) Conduct short research projects to answer a question (including a

self-generated question), drawing on several sources and generating additional related, focused questions that allow for multiple avenues

  • of exploration.

Range of Writing

(10) Write routinely over extended time frames (time for reflection

and revision) and shorter time frames (a single sitting or a day or two)

for a range of discipline-specific tasks, purposes, and audiences.

 

 

11:30 a.m. – Panel Discussion

Following the workshop, we will convene a panel of college instructors to discuss writing requirements in the sciences and field questions from the audience.
