Embedding SFL Writing In The American Reading Curriculum
<p>ARC is currently used in a number of dual language programs. In order for these programs to incorporate SFL writing into the curriculum, they need guidance on how to distribute content across languages in order to make room for writing instruction and how to carry out the assessments for writing and content. They also need support with the distribution of writing lessons in connection with the curricular content and in coordinating the writing projects with the content provided by ARC.</p> <p>Currently, Maria Brisk is working with the Umana school to create units where SFL writing is incorporated into the ARC curriculum at the elementary and middle school levels.
