Text Protocol http://www.nsrfharmony.org
Text Rendering Directions • Divide into groups of 4 with others outside your school. – One of the 4 literacies will be assigned to each group. • Take a few moments to review the document and mark the sentence, the phrase, and the word that you think is particularly important for our work. • Choose a scribe for each group to track the phrases and words that are shared.
Steps First Round: Each person shares a sentence from the document that he/she thinks/feels is particularly significant. Second Round: Each person shares a phrase that he/she thinks/feels is particularly significant. The scribe records each phrase.
Third Round: Each person shares the word that he/she thinks/feels is particularly significant. The scribe records each word.
Discussion Discuss what you’ve heard and what it says about the Data Literacies document.
How might you use the Data Literacies document in your school/district?
