Abstract for the conference program
This session will be led by a literacy educator and a science educator, who worked collaboratively to create, implement, and refine science lessons during a week-long summer program for middle grade (6th – 8th) migrant students. The presenters created culturally responsive NGSS lessons that were infused with multiple literacy strategies culminating in a creative writing, where students incorporated the vocabulary and concepts learned, using storyboarding and Google Slides.
Participants will engage in the mini-lesson and have a brief discussion on the components of the lessons based on NGSS, culturally responsive teaching, and literacy integration. Examples of student work will be shared for participants to get a more holistic idea of the full lessons developed and implemented by the presenters.
Participants will leave with access to the full lesson plans, literacy strategies, and ideas about creating a collaborative group of peers to develop similar lesson plans.
