As a literacy teacher in a grade ⅞ split what will you do? Take the next 20 minutes
to brainstorm together what your new lesson will be. Originally you were teaching a
lesson on critical literacy and media. You want to include the critical questioning
matrix in your lesson. On the Google Doc (03) here (07) here, write your ideas.
What will your group choose as your focus? Remember to start and end your
planning with the curriculum and target your overall and specific expectations.
Develop a 3 part lesson plan - minds-on, action and consolidation to convey the
learning.
How will you know whether or not students learned what you’d intended? How will
you assess their learning?

Editor's Notes
We acknowledge that Brock University’s site campus in Hamilton is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe. We implore all other fellow settlers to learn about what it means to be a guest on this land, and to honour the responsibilities to care for this land and uphold the treaties.
