Abstract

The funds of knowledge concept serves as scaffolding for encouraging students to draw on background experiences and home language to generate authentic writing. This article describes and illustrates several classroom strategies, including 1) using culturally relevant mentor texts; 2) applying Nancie Atwell’s writing territories concept; 3) adapting Harry Noden’s Image Grammar; and 4) introducing cubing as a discovery strategy.
