Promoting Reading and Writing in Secondary Schools

Essay from the year 2022 in the subject Pedagogy - School Pedagogics, grade: Summa Cum Laude, , course: Masters in Education (Advanced Teaching for Elementary, Middle and Secondary), language: English, abstract: The essay outlines several learning activities to encourage, and motivate students to read and write in Secondary Schools. Part of the IB Curriculum is to foster an appreciation for communicating effectively with other students, through literacy. In most international schools teachers will be faced with challenges where English is not the students' mother tongue, making provision for them in the classroom, and using differentiated tasks and strategies to keep the students engaged, involved, and curious about learning is essential. Although this lesson planning essentially focuses on the subject of music, it can be applicable to any other subject in your own classroom, with an emphasis on secondary education.
