Now, find and read an article published post-2000 about balanced literacy in a peer-reviewed journal from the International Reading Association. The Ashford University Library has access to these journals. (Challenge: Find an article that does not support balanced literacy.)

• Create a PowerPoint or Prezi (or feel free to use
  another digital tool with instructor approval). Your presentation
  title is “What is Balanced Literacy?”

• Describe what you have learned about balanced
  literacy. Pretend you will be presenting this workshop to brand new
  teachers from another country.

• You will be presenting at least ten slides, not including title and reference slides.
• On the last slide, include a list of sources in APA style.
