In my travels, I found a couple popular literacies strategies that might be helpful as you start the school year. Some of these explanations give examples, but if you are interested in more examples or how you could use them in your classroom please contact me!
Frayer Model -- This strategy is a great one when you are introducing vocabulary. It allows you to provide examples and non-examples. I find this strategy especially helpful in math, science, or history classes.

Double-Entry Journals/Dialectical Journals -- These types of journals are great for having students interact with the text. They have an opportunity to ask questions, make predictions, make connections, clarify material, and/or reflect on the text they are reading.

Exit Slips or Cards/Entrance Slips or Cards -- Exit/Entrance Slips or Cards are not only a great strategy, but also one example of formative assessment. By collecting information from the students, you get an opportunity to see the questions, connections, and reflections they have about a reading, classroom discussion, lesson, etc. These slips or cards can happen at the start or end of a class. In many ways, they are a great way to begin a discussion at the start of class, as well as clarify any questions students have about the content the next day of class.

If you have any examples of these strategies, I would love to have them for my collection!
