Layers of Meaning: Knowledge Building and Complex Texts
Layers of Meaning: Knowledge Building and Complex Texts
Why do students need to grapple with complex texts? How can teachers scaffold these texts to help students build background knowledge and vocabulary? Join us as we examine how inquiry-based learning provides a framework for building layers of knowledge and meaning that help students get the most out of their interactions with complex texts.
With special guests Jilian Corr (Learning Experience Architect, inquirED) and Jane Patrick (Learning Experience Designer, inquirED).
