Description
To reinvest understanding of texts (C2) requires that students construct meaning of texts, demonstrate understanding of texts and reinvest understanding of texts. Did you know that these three pillars are essential in supporting students’ development of Competency Two?

During this interactive web event, participants will consider the importance of authentic texts in C2, explore the characteristics of a solid reinvestment task together, and examine tangible examples as well as case studies that show these three pillars in action. Which ideas will you bring back to your classroom?
