Write a 250-500 word reflection on your experience in developing the graphic organizer. Explain how you analyzed and evaluated the cross-curricular literacy resources for meeting the needs of students who struggle to learn to read and write. Explain what you have learned about cross-curricular literacy resources and how you might be able to incorporate these into your future professional practice.
