====In the past teachers might have talked about classroom "activities" -- a term that doesn't provide much specificity or guidance for high quality instruction. A literacy practices approach is based in the idea that literacy is actually learned in a context and for a reason. Literacy practice teaching calls for the creation of dynamic, goal-oriented classroom "real world" or simulated "events" that create purposeful contexts for student learning.====
