ReadWriteThink Resources

I have enjoyed using a lot of lessons from ReadWriteThink so I checked and they have a whole slew of lessons that incorporate critical literacy skills. Now I haven't looked through them all but there are a few that look like they will fit our curriculum. This link (above) will take you directly to the page with the lessons. You can also look up lessons for high school and adapt as needed.

Int'l Reading Association Link

The Interntional Reading Association has been kind enough to put together a page of resources pertaining to critical literacy. It includes lesson plans for grades 6 - 8, including topics such as point of view, TV as text, and commercials. There's even one for writing a persuasive essay. :-)
