Literacy in the Disciplines, 6-12 (LiD) is pleased to announce our third after-school Webinar Series session. The slide deck and video of the session is available below.
Talk, Text, Content & Context: Using Poetry & Multimodal Exploration to Develop a Community of Inquiry
This webinar will share guidance from a research-tested way to embed literacy and technology instruction in and across disciplines by focusing in poetry response and writing using digital, multimodal texts. The #WalkMyWorld project started with a community focus on poetry and multimodal exploration; it then developed into a community of inquiry. The focus of this session is to identify opportunities to have students explore various lifeworlds by responding to and authoring multimodal poetry. In #WalkMyWorld, educators and students create a social space of engagement to explore civic uses of social media. This exploration served as an opportunity to consider the media literacies at play as the group participated as a community of writers.
When: Thursday, April 28, 2022, 6:00 – 7:00 pm ET.
Cost: Free. LiD6-12 is funded by the South Carolina Middle Grades Initiative.
This session will feature Dr. W. Ian O’Byrne and Caroline Graham.
