Writing is a form of expression. In educational settings, too often the curriculum leaves writing assignments up to the ELAR/ELA/Literacy teacher. This narrative needs to change. Good teaching and effective, inclusive lessons should span across subject areas.
If you are visiting this page, you have either recently attended one of my presentations or are just curious about math and literacy cross-curricular connections. Please view the resources below, as well as visit my previous presentation that focused on reflective writing and spanned writing prompts across all core subjects and electives titled, “Write Away: Writing Across the Curriculum and Beyond“.
