If you’ve been following these last few posts, I’m working on creating templates and guidelines for generic embedded project work that tutors and others can use with Level 1 unit standards for literacy.
For anyone interested, my process has looked like this:
- Initial brainstorming and rough ideas are here.
- The revised structure I came up with is here.
- My guidelines for selecting reading texts at or above step four in the reading strand are here.
- My rough ideas for a reading cover sheet is here.
I’ve created the first version of the Reading template. There’s a screen shot of the first page above. My whole prototype for the coversheet is attached as a PDF here: EvidenceCoverSheetforEmbeddedReadingUS22664
And it’s also available as a word document that you can modify or adapt here: EvidenceCoverSheetforEmbeddedReadingUS22664
I actually created this in Google Docs, which I think is my new favourite word processor. You can view the document here. You can’t edit the Google Docs version, but you can leave comments.
If you find any of this useful, or you use or adapt the templates, I’d love to hear about how it’s working. I’ll have to leave this for a while due to other work, but when I come back to it I’ll probably add the writing component next.

Kia ora! Hey, I'd love to know what you think.
