**Assignment Description:** A main focus of this course is developing a catalogue of content area literacy based strategies to aid in future teaching.

Adapt or develop a strategy to help elevate the above mentioned need a strategy is a step-by-step plan for meeting a specific goal  b. your strategy must be directly related to the stated need and the teaching of your chosen content  4. Record yourself demonstrating the strategy  a. prepare a five to ten minute demonstration  b. a demonstration is actually modeling the use of the strategy, not telling us what the strategy is  c. imagine that you are presenting this demonstration within a live, in-person class – this is what you should record  5.
