Follow this format when completing your annotated bibliography:
Citation
Summary
Reflective notes
Pages to note
This is where you will provide the full APA citation (often in Google scholar or within the data base this is provided- double check it’s correct).
Brief summary of the article, book, document, etc.
Provide some kind of notes on how this might be used, how it relates to your topic, commentary or critiques, etc. This is your place to provide notes on the value of this article.
Did you read particular passages/ pages that are of value to your paper? Notate them here so you can go back.

Language, literacy, and learning theories are the foundations of literacy instructional models, programs, and practices.

One key to success in working with students struggling with literacy skills is providing instructional support outside of the classroom. These supports are often most useful when families are involved in the literacy development process and provided support strategies and resources, as well as progress updates.
Create an infographic to share with families and students that provides resources in assisting students with literacy development in your content area. The communication should be clear, use family-friendly language, and specify the following:
A family-friendly explanation of what literacy is, the literacy components, and why it is important in your content area.
Describe one research-based strategy or resource that is appropriate for practicing each literacy skill (reading, writing, and speaking/listening) and supports the student in your content area outside the classroom.
One method students and/or parents can use to assess students’ progress and growth in content area literacy outside the classroom.
Describe the strategies you will use to communicate student progress in the classroom to the student and parent/guardian/families.
Support the assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources.

Below I attached the directions. Also I attached some examples of others PPT. Please sure you follow the directions. I also send a rough draft of my paper to use as resources for the information to put on the PPT.
Cover slide
AIP model
Planning Phase (6 or so slides)
Implementation Phase (6 or so slides)
Evaluation Phase (6 or so slides)
References (1 slide)
Include the following information in the appropriate phase slide.

You do not need to have exactly six slides for each phase, and you can have more or fewer per phase, depending on the content.

As the Director of your program, you are also responsible for writing policy. The general policy for observation and assessment has been written but is missing a section that outlines the connection to the families and collaboration.
