Module 1 was a good introduction to the course. It included finding and
annotating an existing unit plan with some embedded literacy activities. It also needed to fit the requirements of the New Zealand curriculum including Key Competencies and achievement objectives at appropriate levels. It was good to have a close look at a unit while referencing the curriculum and considering literacy approaches. There were some aspects done really well and some that could be improved so I think this will really help my classroom practice going forwards, to make sure I am aligning with curriculum expectations and also meeting the literacy needs of my students.
