This project aims to address literacy gaps among KSU students, emphasizing the importance of teaching various literacies (health, economic, social, political). The approach involves providing multimodal learning experiences, leveraging technology for real-world connections, and promoting collaboration, communication, and cultural understanding. Through a 4-week curriculum, students engage in tasks aligned with current assessments, focusing on fostering both traditional and creative literacies essential for intelligent living. Civic literacy is also emphasized, recognizing individual preferences and promoting multiple skills practice for comprehensive literacy development.

Why did I select this project? • Gaps in concept of literacy and SL literacy • KSU students…The need to “just pass and get the credit” • All literacies must be taught: health, economic, social, political How are we each accountable for the literacy of each child? (content must connect) • Provide multimodal approaches for all learners • Provide access to tasks that can be completed inside and outside the classroom • Let technology and media provide a connection to education and the outside world • Students need “connections that are real, relevant and skills for now and the future” • Collaborative work, communication, connections, and culture (I, P, I)
Action Plan and Literacy • Students work for 4 weeks (curriculum and project) • Accompanies current curriculum and assessments for KSU • Task over Test! • Role of the facilitator and a community • Literacy (reading and writing)…but also LITERACY (Learning/living intelligently takes effort, and relevant and creative YOGURT) ??? • Pairs, individuals, groups-Civic literacy • Knowing every child, student, adult has a rate and route for reading, writing, speaking…so why not a preference or options that relate to what they do normally? They do not go home and read textbooks. • Share, teach and learn • Promote multiple skills practice
