Literacy Tools in the Classroom: Teaching Through Critical Inquiry, Grades 5-12 (Language and Literacy Series (Teachers College Pr))

This innovative resource describes how teachers can help students employ ''literacy tools'' across the curriculum to foster learning. The authors demonstrate how literacy tools such as narratives, question-asking, spoken-word poetry, drama, writing, digital communication, images, and video encourage critical inquiry in the 5 12 classroom. The book provides many examples and adaptable lessons from diverse classrooms and connects to an active Website where readers can join a growing professional community, share ideas, and get frequent updates.
