Just as there are multiple ways of being literate, there are multiple ways to show what you know. "The use of different modes of expression in student work should be integrated into the overall literacy goals of the curriculum..." (NCTE, 2005).

Writing is NOT the only way to show what you know!

“most [educational practices] reiterate a singular perspective: that of a received view of literacy as the written word policed (consciously and unconsciously) by a historically dominant culture” (Sanders, n.d.).

Does our educational system understand "the point of language and literacy learning to prepare students for civic engagement, high education education, and employment possibilities–or to improve test scores" (Warschaeuer, 2008, as cited in Lotherington & Jenson, 2011, p. 239)?

"...not including multimodal resources in the classroom undermines what children bring to the learning task by ignoring the modes children already use to make meaning" (Street et al., 2009, as cited in Lotherington & Jenson, 2011, p. 239).

Show what you know...by working with your group to create a presentation of your choice—for example, a video or slide presentation, infographic, or one-pager (Potash, 2019)—showcasing the main themes/ideas you've learned about, as well as how what you've learned connects to your world. Be sure to incorporate quotations from the original text.

These will be displayed in a "gallery walk" or shared virtually, so be sure to create something you'll be proud of.

ISTE(S) 1.1.a - Students articulate and set personal learning goals, develop strategies leveraging technology to achieve them and reflect on the learning process itself to improve learning outcomes.

# data[].attributes.body
ISTE(S) 1.3.b - I can evaluate the accuracy, perspective, credibility and relevance of information, media, data or other resources.

Show what you know...by creating a multimodal page (grid / stream / canvas / any format!) showcasing images, videos, links, GIFs, audio recordings, etc.

Consider the intent of the author. Why did they write what they did? Why did they present their writing in the form they did?

# data[].attributes.body
Show what you know...by creating a book compilation that highlights 2 different authors' presentation of the same topic.

Consider: How do their points of comparison and contrast shape your understanding of the facts? Which presentation do you find to be most effective and why?

You will be asked to review one of your classmate's books!
