As I read them, I saw how concrete some of them were, which will provide you and the students a way to get into solid-core lessons, using the Teaching/Learning Cycle. Tell us more as you move through this cycle. I know it will be exciting to see how the teaching of reading, writing, math, etc. become balanced with the context. I remind our list members of Amy Trawick's message, posted on June 9. The EFF Reading Project advocates this [balanced] approach through its emphasis on purposeful and contextualized reading instruction, beginning with authentic reading purposes for reading and continuing with the development of lessons to emphasize the key elements of knowledge, skills, and strategies. As teachers, our task is to support adult learners in building their bank of strategies by (1) explicit instruction in the knowledge and strategies learners need and are ready for, and (2) providing lots of opportunities to read authentic texts for real purposes that are selected by the students. All the Best, Meta Potts, Moderator 4-EFF List
