HD 445 - Writing Our Stories: Reflections on Literacy Development


3 credits
Students in this class will develop the capacity to become reflective practitioners through writing and sharing their own stories about their experiences. Students will learn to effectively facilitate young children’s beginning writing by modeling literacy behaviors, writing where children can see, scribing children’s words, and representing children’s play in writing. Students will gain an understanding of the different ways that people express their own culture through writing.
