And Dr. Muth said Literacy wasn’t Infinite…
This week’s literature provides another way to define and think about literacy…
• Page 1 – Literacy definition includes social and cultural
Through the text, I confirmed that social and cultural influences contribute to literacy and interpretations of texts. The cultural and social aspects create a literacy environment that is infinite or constantly evolving and changing.
• Page 3 – Furthermore texts can be read in different ways…
• Page 5 - Events and education change readers literacy skills…
• Page 6 – Learners should be viewed as lifelong trajectories…
• Page 10 - We all have our own discourse…
• Etc.
Last week I asked how can educators account for the above literacy dynamics of readers. This literature attempts to provide the answer.
• Page 13 – Immersion or leaning inside the practice creates a world view…
• Page 15 – The connection between learning and participation in the mature discourse is clear
As I start interviews and immerse myself in the project, as suggested above, I hope to become a better educator and find tools for immersion in other topics.

ReplyDeleteAgain, you raise excellent and challenging questions, Shannon. The dilemma of how to write so readers will hear us has plagued writers from the bee ginning of civilization. I do agree we can get better at it by knowing the lingo and working from within the Discourse. But ultimately, readers will bring their infinite subjectivity to your text and take it up in a new way. if they are reading against the text, they will be looking for holes in your every word. But even if they are reading with your text, they will interpret it in ways that might at times make you want to drink (a lot), and at other times, may want to make you weep with gratitude...Still, I do agree that we should aim to do everything possible to get our message across. That's what Discourse is for! In our case, it might be APA...Long live APA style guide. YEAY!!! :)
