Language Arts in Action: Engaging Secondary Students with Journalistic Strategies [Paperback]

Build communication skills that can last a lifetime. A welcome new approach to information literacy, this work utilizes active learning while never losing sight of the activities connection to larger goals around trust, community engagement, skill development, and how such activities might make for better consumers of news content. This last part is particularly important; active approaches tend to disregard the ultimate impact of such activities on the student as reader and viewer, instead becoming hyper-focused on technical production and polish. A great read for those interested in creating authentic learning experiences for students! If youre committed to breathing new life into language arts teaching, then look no further. This book offers an action-oriented framework that can help you transform ELA teaching into more engaging and meaningful experiencesempowering students to become the authors of their own learning and contributors to their own futures.
