EDU20001 Developing Literacy

This folio task is organised into two sections. For each section, you're required to respond to the following scenario based on written narrative:
Following prior learning about recounts, and class discussion of story structure, students were asked to write a story of their own. Ideas and vocabulary from their discussions were available on the classroom wall and students also read and commented on their partner’s work. The idea of the bonsai tree derived from paired discussion about unusual plants from around the world and how to make them do dramatic things.

The following are examples of Harper and Madison’s areas of need in their written narrative. You are required to select one area of need from Harper’s list and one area of need from Madison’s list in order to focus on for the requirements of this assignment:

Using the text and comprehension texts provided for Harper and Madison, you are required to:

1.From the lists provided, select one area of need for Harper and Madison as the focus points for the requirements of this assignment.
2.Select a teaching strategy that has been covered in the unit learning material and explain how that specific teaching strategy will support and extend each child's area of need in written narrative.

3.Propose an example of a learning experience that is aligned to the teaching strategy that will support and extend the child's written narrative. This should include:
- a description of the teaching methods required for the learning experience
- an explanation for how the learning experience will support the development of writing skills
- an evaluation of how ICT can be incorporated into the learning experience to enhance literacy teaching.

This section of the folio should be approximately 1000 words, evenly split between each child. Make sure your responses for both children are presented clearly and justified by making references to published academic and professional sources and by identifying specific examples from each child’s transcript.

In this section, you're required to:

1.Compare the teaching strategies that you have used in the previous section.
2.Discuss any benefits and limitations you may have noticed about the two teaching strategies.
This section of the folio should be approximately 500 words. Make sure your responses for both literacy programs are presented clearly and justified by making references to published academic  and professional sources of information.
