This semester....
This semester helped me see how important it is to incorporate literacy into every subject area. While I know literacy needs to be incorporated, I'm not sure I've discovered how to make it a big part of the chemistry classroom. While working on the unit plan, I didn't really see any big oppertunity to bring literacy in. The main way literacy worked into my unit plan was through reading the text and labs. I feel like there must be a better way to bring it in.

Go back to some of the ideas in the Subjects Matter book, Denise. Your students may need help reading the text. Plus, I think chemistry might be very much a part of current events having to do with sciences -- not gases perhaps, but other topics. And you can always get students interested by reading biographies of famous scientists even if they are out of the area of chemistry -- the stories of people like Marie Curie and Richard Feynman are really fascinating, I think.
