DEVELOPING LANGUAGE AND LITERACIES PPT
For this assignment, the candidate will create a PowerPoint addressing developing language and literacy in either middle childhood (ages 6-11) or adolescence (ages 12-18). The student will discuss the different characteristics of language and literacy development, including academic language and literacy development. The PowerPoint must address typical language and literacy characteristics, the process of learning English as a new language, and the language and literacy development of school students who have various language impairments as discussed by Wang.
Students will end the PowerPoint by addressing the question: How can you create environments that support language and literacy learning for school-age children?
Students will prepare at least a 15 slide PowerPoint and present their PowerPoint to their colleagues. During each presentation, the observers will fill out an assessment rubric (provided by the professor) with a glow and grow for the presenter. The PowerPoint must include citations from the textbook and cite references on a separate reference page using the current APA format.
