Language, Literacy, and Content for Continued Academic Success - Content-Based English
Lift prepares teenagers with the academic language and literacy skills they need to study cross-curricular subjects and literature from around the world, participate in academic discussions, and apply themselves in and out of the classroom. Through a sequence of multiple reading cycles of fiction and non-fiction texts, students acquire and use academic vocabulary, learn and apply reading skills and strategies, practice critical thinking, engage in academic discussions, and produce a high level of structured writing. National Geographic photography, fine art, and infographics teaches visual literacy skills. Ideal for IB MYP and returns programs, Lift can be used for 5 to 15 hours per week.
