Activities to Promote Content Literacy

Here's a nice set of strategic teaching techniques that can help teachers across the curriculum promote literacy skills while they address their own content areas. The learning activities include Chalk Talk, Exit Slip, Gallery Walk, 3-2-1, Turn and Talk, and Word Splash. This Word doc from the website of the Council of Chief State School Officers succinctly describes the procedures for each strategy. It's part of CCSSO's Adolescent Literacy Toolkit.
