4.4.1 Lesson Ideas in Standard 1 for Technical Subjects
There are many ways to design instruction to support writing skills and provide multiple opportunities for students to develop these writing competencies within the technical subjects.
- Be able to write using the written word and also with the discipline-specific language, notation, or symbol systems.
- Be able to combine both the written word with the discipline-specific systems to both make a claim and provide text-based evidence to support the claim or to inform or explain a technical concept or idea.
