We spent most of our class period today thinking about and discussing literacy. In addition to writing about and discussing our ideas, we read an excerpt from a chapter called "Reading the World" that had a very expansive definition of what literacy means.
We started a section of our notebooks for literary terms, and "literacy" was the first one to make the list.
In support of exploring different forms of literacy, you traveled around the room to several literacy stations and wrote about the form of literacy and the symbol systems you encountered. Our de-brief of the stations included a discussion of the literacy communities that might be represented by these different types of literacy.
Next time, you'll start working on your first assignment for this class. It's related to literacy communities, so be ready to name a few you think you belong to and the terminology associated with each community.
