BIG TAKE-AWAY

In today's Manaiakalani LCS meeting, the MultiText Resource was shared with us.


I reviewed some of the resources teachers had made, in particular Kate McLachlan's work, and I started to wonder how this format could be adapted for the literacy circle programme.


Ideas

1) Create 5 to 6 lessons for term 2 around Growth (school theme for 2020) and social studies (school focus) - growing population, growing communities, growing families, growing cities/ countries

2) change the expectation that a literature circle is held every two weeks, not every week - there is extra work with the literacy programme added to the multi-text resource.

OR

Make the multi-text resource a more rounded Literacy recourse with a deliberate act of writing and literacy circle.
