What do the experts say?

The idea is not that content area teachers should become reading and writing teachers, but rather

that they should emphasize the reading and writing practices that are specific to their subjects, so students are encouraged to read and write like

historians, scientists, mathematicians, and othersubject area experts.

“On Reading Recipes and Racing Forms”Anticipation GuideBinder page 14

For each statement, choose true or false. 1. CTE teachers view themselves as proficient readers and

highly literate members of society.2. CTE teachers use texts differently than academic

teachers.3. Environmental print is important in CTE classrooms.4. Good readers read quickly.5. It is important to read all books from beginning to end.6. CTE teachers need to teach specific kinds of reading

skills. 7. Students in CTE classrooms tend to read only the textbook

or manual.

“On Reading Recipes and Racing Forms”Reading Assignments

Everyone reads the first page. No one reads theoretical background. Person 1 reads vocational teachers use

texts differently (12-13). Person 2 reads about Mr. Demetrie (13-14) Person 3 reads about Ms. Hahn (14-16). Person 4 reads literacy practices and

situated reading (16-17).

NRCCTE

Reading the Passage

Read the passage interactively. Your purpose is to find information to support or

refute each of the statements. Change answers as appropriate. Make sure you have noted in the text where you

found information for the answers. You will not find information on each statement in

your part of the article.

Thinking About the Article

classes? How are they different from other classes?

Democracy describes a number of related forms of government. With origins in ancient Greece, Rome and south Asia, democracy has generally grown and expanded throughout history. The principles of democracy emphasize the importance of the individual in the context of government and, today, are a major influence around the world. Though the term democracy is typically used in the context of a political state, the principles are also applicable to other groups and organizations.
