Literacy—it’s not just for English teachers anymore!

The new Common Core English Language Arts Standards aren’t just for English teachers. Fluent reading and writing are critically important to the study of history/social studies, science, and technical subjects, too. In this practical resource, you’ll use teacher-tested, CCSS-based lessons as models—and follow the principles of the Backward Design approach to curriculum development to set and meet your goals. Each lesson template includes

• The teaching strategies you’ll utilize
• Ways to incorporate technology and media
• Variations for differentiation and interdisciplinary connections
• Links to the work of major educational theorists
