I have to set up a fund raising event for art and literacy with a showcase ethnic food and entertainment, help
this is a fundraiser for the community to raise money and promote literacy this is to be a weekend long event, if anyone has any suggestions i would be happy to hear them, thank you
Ask many local restaurants to participate by donating food. Give them a receipt as a tax deduction. Contact a local band and see if they could give you a discounted rate for their services or ask someone who has a band to play for you without cost.
Perfect How I could introduce ICT and literacy in teaching maths?
I have to write an assignment about how a maths’ teacher embed literacy and ICT in teaching so could you help me to find some examples please.
Thanks
That is a tough one!
Have you looked into Integrated learning? This will probably help you, it is a technique where multiple subjects are taught in one lesson, for example writing a report on the Solar System would cover both the English and Science learning areas.
Now, I am assuming ICT means technology? For this I would discuss various games that are available. I am not sure where you live, but in Australia we have a great game called Mathletics. It is online and many schools use it. You could also discuss the use of Smart boards (interactive whiteboards).
As for literacy, all I can think of is written Mathematical problems, the students having the knowledge of numbers in various forms (number, word, roman numerals etc.) And I guess you may touch on algebra using various letters to represent different aspects of a problem.
I hope this was some help, sorry if I am taking completely the wrong track!
Good luck!

what is a balanced approach to literacy and what is syntatic system?
How does syntactic system directly impact the balanced approach to literacy instructions? Thank you!
literacy is in the hands of parents everywhere it is the love of reading that parents instill while children are just looking at the pictures while the parents read to them and recently it is proved that a child who reads before kindergarten has a 20,000 word vocabulary by 2nd grade where as if the student does not learn to read until kindergarten their learning curve is closer to 5,000 word vocabulary. Is that a semantic? no it is a responsibility for all parents to give their children a fighting chance to live through the next thirty-five years. Syntactic is a method by which understanding is not a given but through comparison lessons get taught. Contrasting ideals often allowing simple definitions to change or even radically effect the true meanings once thought of proper direction now lost in miss interpretations of semantics.
What Could Professional Wrestling and School Literacy Practices Possibly Have in Common?
At first glance, any connection between professional wrestling and school-based literacy practices might seem far-fetched, or incongruous at best.
What do you think ?
I concur.

Where can I get a paper copy of The National Literacy Strategy?
I’m in my fifth year of teaching and moving to a new school. My copy of the National literacy strategy belonged to my previous school and I need to get hold of a copy of my own. Does anyone know where I order this from? What I need are the key objectives for Years 4, 5 and 6
Thank you!
you can’t get paper copies any more, it’s all on-line since the new version which is going to be scrapped in a couple of years anyway and good riddance
Reformed Jail – India
June 1994
Pitiful faces peer from the bars of overcrowded cells in one of India’s most notorious jails. Delhi’s Tihar Jail has almost 9,000 prisoners and, until recently, some of India’s most appalling conditions. Now, thanks to a radical reformer called Keran Bedi, Tihar is a model for all India to follow. Bedi is famous for both her prison reform and her ‘larger than life’ personality. Critics call her an attention seeker who hides the facts. A Canadian woman prisoner speaks of two months of in Tihar – conditions there still shock the West. Yet, interviews with Bedi and other prisoners offer hope where hope has always been in short supply.

how do you write a thesis statement on my own literacy history?
i have a 700 word thesis statement on my literacy history, that is due monday. can someone help me put it together.
a 700 word thesis statement? that doesn’t sound right. thesis statements state the main point of your paper with specific details that you describe later in the paper.
