Websites have been updated. Welcome to PED 1140C, LMX 405 8:30-12:00 Tuesday.

Every week you will be responsible for a few readings and or view a few webcasts. Upon entry to each class, you wiil be asked to give me a point form reflection (a graphic organiser will be provided) **based on the readings** about the topic for that week.

Readings will be given the week before and will be either handed out or posted on the wiki. Readings in Ministry Curriculum Documents (MCD) can be accessed at [] or [] or [] Webcasts (WC) are located on the Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat - LNS website at: []

Webcasts are in Alphabetical order by title or under the date given. *** Please note that there is a reading and webcasts due Class 1, Tuesday, September 13.** Powerpoint presentations and other relevant materials will also be posted on the wiki. Literacy is the foundation for all learning. It impacts every facet of one's life and so teaching it is HUGE! My expectation is that you do what we expect from our students: ask questions, explore, participate in discussion...engage in our classes! The biggest gift we can give our students is the love of literacy. So, here we go...

If you have any questions or concerns, I can be reached by email at maria.makuch@ocdsb.ca or at 613-834-7313 from 7:30-4:00 or after class.

Regards,

Maria
