Meet Mike. His goal for increasing his literacy skills is to order meals at a restaurant for his partner. Authentic learning is creating a safe environment for learners like Mike to practice and feel success - in this case, a makeshift cafe for his classmates. #LostForWords
Tasks such as reading a recipe to cook, making a shopping list, ordering food, filling in forms, completing a driving test etc. are topics explored by this documentary series. Closing the gap also means making sure we create authentic experiences for our learners.
Watching Lost for Words on @SBS highlights the importance of developing fundamental mental literacy skills across all ages. Mundane daily tasks and routines all involve reading and/or writing in some shape or form.
These curriculum-aligned 10-minute #MiniLessons are a wonderful resource for busy #teachers. Help students learn about the planets in our solar system and (more importantly??) which materials are best for making slime! 😆 https://t.co/uTgMrgjxU1 #STEM@ACARAeduau
