Welcome to the fifth course in our series of seven Disciplinary Literacy courses.  In this course, we’ll explore the process of developing text-based activities and discussions. These focus areas correspond to Practices 3 and 5 in the Essential Practices for Disciplinary Literacy Instruction. In Part 1 of Course 5, we focus on disciplinary reading and Instructional Practice 3. In Part 2 of Course 5, we explore the role of discourse in supporting disciplinary reading with a focus on Instructional Practice 5. The intention is that participants complete Course 5 Part 1 before completing Course 5 Part 2.
