Online Readings

What?
Before I start to trial my TAI I need to find some readings to support my inquiry but also help guide me.
So what?
It is important I find some readings that support my TAI around an authentic audience combined with peer and parent feedback. I need to think about some of the following questions.

• Is what I am doing worth while? 
• Will it work in my class? 
• Is it something I can see my class pursuing? 
• Will it help my writers that need the help?
• Have I got the right question?
• Is there something else that could be more valuable?
• 
  

I am sure I will come up with other questions as I am finding readings, but also reading them.

Now what?
By next week I need to read through my readings and take some notes. The readings I have so far are all online (some are PDFs) - I will need to talk to my SLT and see if they know of any readings that could be valuable for me.

Readings to date I have found:
