  7. What did we learn from the two groups reading? Content literacy - Focuses on the ability to use reading and writing to learn subject matter in a discipline. Disciplinary literacy - Focuses on how reading and writing are used in the discipline being studied; Emphasizes unique tools used by the experts. “Disciplinary literacy in social studies means that teachers are using chosen literacy techniques to teach students social studies objectives.” (Chauvin & Theodore, 2015; Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction) @geoeduktr @EducateIN

  8. Disciplinary Literacy Defined @geoeduktr @EducateIN

  9. When do I use disciplinary literacy? Inquiry Cycle- questioning, research, analysis, communication Primary Source Analysis Sourcing and bias - how does knowing who wrote something changes how one accepts that source as “truth”? Considering Point of View - how would a geographer view something different than a historian? Specialized vocabulary - bias, stereotype, “truth” may mean something different than in an English class.
