Literacy Resources

Legendary educators, resources, and Frameworks for linking standards to Global citizenship



Student examples

Students podcast always with the community radio, authentic literacy component in mind when making inquiry or literacy choices, revising work, and publishing with purpose.  The radio station podcasts are organized around news, interviews, storytelling, and culture.

After examining narrative writing through reading "Global Perspectives" novels such as A Long Walk to Water, students branched out to find compelling Newsela articles centered on human rights and researched the related regional global issues.  Meshing their understanding of narrative writing, geography, and global issues, students produced a range of storytelling through story pitches, written narratives, screenplays, and audio stories.
