She shows how the communicative modes can serve to create learning experiences that are grounded in intellectual content. Templates outlining tasks for planning and teaching cultural documents, literature and film, and contemporary issues are included.#ClassroomExamples #All #1.Communication #2.Cultures #BookSection #Substantialmention #All5Cs #Teachersandteaching #Curriculum #LearnersandLearning #Assessment #All #Standards
