Disciplinary literacy - The way that a historian reads, writes and thinks is different to how a mathematician operates. Each subject context has different needs and requirements. It's useful to point this out and have students (and even teachers!) reflect on this.

[Jay Wamsted @JayWamsted]

I have some plans for the first day of school.

I would love to hear yours! What are your 5 acts?
