This group was instructed to: | |||
• Investigate ways that we might take already existing sugar activities and encourage more literacy activities-based on our discussion with Walter Bender (This might include revamping the journal, writing lesson plans for teachers, etc.) | |||
• Think of how we might encourage developers to implement peer review/reflection aspects into the Journal activity by conveying 1) their importance and 2) teacher demand | |||
• Root all suggestions in current best practices for literacy education and be supported with research | |||
