This document discusses disciplinary literacy and strategies for teaching texts in different subject areas. It defines disciplinary literacy as requiring an understanding of how knowledge is constructed and organized in a content area, including what counts as evidence for a claim and conventions for communicating knowledge. It outlines several literacy skills specific to different disciplines like knowledge of specialized vocabulary, text structure, and research skills. The document also provides examples of reading strategies and activities that can be used across content areas to improve students' literacy, such as read alouds, graphic organizers, and written responses to texts.

Editor's Notes
- #12 Strengthen reading instruction in all high school courses by incorporating complex reading materials into course content.The type of text to which students are exposed in high school has a significant impact on their readiness for college-level reading.Specifically, students need to be able to read complex texts if they are to be ready for college. All courses in high school, not just English and social studies but mathematics and science as well, must challenge students to read and understand complex texts.
- #26 From the National Reading Panel’s report: strong connection to vocabulary in the reading process (NICHD, p. 4-15). both direct and indirect vocabulary instruction should be used to achieve reading comprehension.Effective vocabulary instruction also requires active participation from students. Also recommended: Multiple exposures to words in both indirect and direct learning.Who better to teach vocabulary than content area teachers who know the content???!Blachowicz and Fisher (2005) suggest choosing the following kinds of words:Comprehension words (necessary for comprehending the subject or content)Useful words (practical across several fields)Academic words and phrases (such as “essential message” , “in contrast to”)Generative words (prefixes, suffixes, and roots that can be identified and applied to other words)
- #27 Vocabulary Frames are a flashcard method for learning new vocabulary. Do not use Vocabulary Frames for every vocabulary word encountered. Words that introduce new concepts are best used with Vocabulary Frames.Top Right Corner: Write the word’s definitionTop Left Corner: Write the word’s opposite and cross it outLower Left Corner: Write a silly sentence that uses the definition of the wordLower Right Corner: Draw a graphic to help you visualize the conceptIn the Center: Write the wordOther ideas for explicit placement on card:Isolate any prefixesIsolate the rootNote the meaning of the rootIsolate any suffixesLabel the part of speech in parenthesis
- #44 Webklipper: annotation and extractor for web pages: http://webklipper.com/k/KGyIAr0cga2AFVdooC4r Zooburst: pop up books: http://www.zooburst.com/zb_books-viewer.php?book=4c7d7e4911329Ten: LIFE has unveiled a neat new feature that lets you search for any photos in its archives and create an online timeline/slideshow that you can share with a unique url address. Their Photo Timeline lets you use their original captions or you can edit them and create your own, as well as writing your own description for your whole creation. After you log-in (you can do so using your Twitter, Facebook, Yahoo, or Google accounts — it would be nice if they allowed on site registration, but I guess you can’t have everything!), it’s just a matter of searching and dragging the photos to your timeline/slideshow. Nine: Crocodoc is a super-simple application that allows you to annotate webpages with virtual post-it notes and drawings. You can also upload any document you create and immediate make it into a webpage.Eight: WebKlipper lets you easily, without requiring registration, annotate any webpage with virtual post-it notes or a highlighter. You’re then given the url address of the annotated webpage. It’s quite easy to use. Students can use it to demonstrate reading strategies (visualizing, asking questions, making a connection, etc.).Seven: ZooBurst, allows you to create your own “customized 3D pop-up books.” You can see a number of examples at their site.Six: Fotobabble, is a neat application where people can post photos along with an audio description. It has gotten even better recently. Now, users can grab images off the web by just using the photo’s url address. Before, uploading images was the only option. It’s one of the best Web 2.0 applications of the year for educators, and is on The Best Sites To Practice Speaking English list. It’s a simple tool students can use to practice their speaking skills. It’s very easy to use but, just in case, Russell Stannard at the great Teacher Training Videos has posted a good video tutorial on how to use the app. You can see examples my students have created here.Five: Tripline is a great map-making application. You just list the various places you want to go in a journey, or a famous trip that has happened in history or literature, or a class field trip itinerary, and a embeddable map is created showing the trip where you can add written descriptions and photos. You can use your own photos or just through Flickr. Plus, you can pick a soundtrack to go with it as it automatically plays through the travels. Here are examples of the ride of Paul Revere and the Lewis and Clark Expedition. It’s super-easy to use, and the only tricky part is that you can’t add photos until after you create your trip and save it. That’s not a big deal, unless you couldn’t figure it out like me and had to contact the site.Four: Story Jumper is a new site that lets kids create their own story books. Online versions are free, and you can pay for hard copies. Registration is quick and easy. You can create your books from “scratch” or use one of several templates they have (one or two of them didn’t seem particularly intuitive to me, but most were fine, and the “scratch” version was certainly easy). They offer lots of easy “props” to integrate into the stories, and you can upload your own photos and type your own text. Once you’re finished, you can email the link to yourself and post it on a student/teacher blog or website.Three: TxtBear is a new and very useful web application that allows you to easily upload and document and immediately turn it into a webpage. A site like this is one is wonderful for students and others who are not very tech savvy. All they have to do is create a document in Word (including easily copying and pasting images into it), which they might be more familiar with, and easily turn it into a website. Students can upload papers they’ve written, as well. Then, they can just copy and paste its url address into a teacher or student blog. For example, now I have students type essays in a Word Document and then copy and paste them directly into the comments section of our class blog. With TxtBear, they use Word, illustrate it if they want, and then paste the link into the class blog. It makes the document much more readable that way.Two: The Middlespot Search Engine has made previous “The Best…” lists. Their new version is like an even easier and embeddableWallwisher. In other words, it’s a virtual bulletin board with virtual “stickies.” If you’re searching for an image, website, or video, though, you don’t necessarily have to copy and paste their url addresses (though you can) — if they are in the search results you just click on it to go into your “mashup” and it goes to it automatically. No registration is necessary, and you can collaborate with others.One: Simple Booklet is a great new tool that lets you create online books and reports that can be embedded or linked to by its url address. It’s free, you can grab images and videos off the web, and extremely simple to use. No registration is required. What’s not to like? Coincidentally, it’s also designed by Middlespot.
