Literacy Theories and Models
Literacy Models and Theories |
In the class session, you and your peers shared the big ideas of the learning models and theories you read in Chapter 2: Literacies and Their Investigation Through Theories and Models, from Theoretical Models and Processes of Reading. For each theory and model that was discussed, you took notes on the worksheet that was provided during the class session. For this discussion blog, review those notes and identify one theory that you feel reflects your beliefs about teaching. This discussion is important as you begin to consider how theory will be reflected in your teaching practice. In Topic 14, you will share your Beliefs Statement, articulating your beliefs about teaching literacy, supported by research and theory, as one of your final projects.
For this discussion, complete the following steps:
- In your initial post identify one major theory or model of literacy that resonates with you. Describe how the theory might provide evidence for one of your beliefs about literacy.
- Respond to at least one of your peers with a thoughtful comment or question about the theory and belief he or she has described.
