Literacy in the Disciplines, 6-12 (LiD) is pleased to announce our next after-school Webinar Series session.
Using Curiosity to Write in Science
This webinar features two science teachers sharing ways literacy can be used to support science content learning. The purpose of this webinar is to communicate learning in science through the CER framework and provide examples of how writing can be a tool to enhance science knowledge. Our goal is to give other science teachers tools to incorporate writing in their classrooms and more students towards specialized science writing practices.
