Let’s grow students’ science knowledge by bridging science literacy and verbal reasoning!
In this workshop we will look at ways to transform passive reading into active, student-led academic discourse in the science classroom. Using a variety of texts aligned to the TEKS, participants will discover ways to support students in breaking down science information and explore strategies to promote student-to-student discussion.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn about the benefits of integrating reading and student discourse into the science classroom experience
- Discover ways to help students synthesize textual information

- Examine tools for extending literacy and discourse into writing
