Critical Literacy Assignment Analysis
Thank you for getting back to me. I completed the essay to the best of my understanding. After writing to you I tried emailing other people in the course. Although, only one student reach out. She happen to be just as confused. Due to trying to get a clear understanding of the "Critical literacy Assignment" I was not able to turn in the "Critical literacy Reflection". Although, I'm currently in the processed of trying to complete it. Would you be willing to accept my "Reflection Assignment" late? If not, I completely understand. I would also like to address, i have a hard time with comprehending reading. Its not that i cant do the work, sometimes i just need a clearer example than others do. I'm a visual learner.
Thank you

    My example for the Reading Literacy objective is reading the novel, Invisible Man. Throughout the journey of reading Invisible Man we’ve done pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities and applied strategies from all three activities to other assignments. The second bullet of the reading literacy objective states “To apply pre-reading, during reading, and post-reading strategies to all reading assignments, including determining purpose and pre-reading vocabulary.” Before reading Invisible Man we read a multitude of different works of literature to better understand the time period in which the book had taken place. We also took notes during our reading and discussed our findings with the class as a whole. After reading, we completed…

    Before arriving on my first day of instruction, I believed that my argumentation skills were at a reasonable level and as a result I was not going to learn an abundance in English 2, critical thinking and writing. However, this was not the case. I quickly realized that the pathos, ethos and logos of which was introduced to me in high school, had long lost their meaning and subsequently found myself in the deep end of the swimming pool, once again. With that being said, through learning these concepts, planning for the subsequent tasks and writing the assigned essays, I acquired a substantial amount of knowledge which is widely applicable.…

    Part of Rabel’s classroom literacy instruction was also focused on him writing either the days routine in the morning or after a lesson. I was able to observe several things about Rabel as a writer. I noticed that Rabel enjoys to wre, but once again has a hard time staying on task. Rabel is very intelligent and can write about almost anything. When they were learning how to write poems, I observed him create a poem about the day he went to the zoo. Rabel is a very interesting young boy that when is focused, he can complete any task assigned to him. I also noticed that his personality comes out in his writing. While Rabel was writing I noticed that he wasn’t scared to use words he didn’t know. His teacher encouraged her students to try their…

    In the article “The New Literacy” by Clive Thompson, he argues alongside with Stanford University professor Andrea Lunsford that technology, specifically social media, is improving students’ writing ability. There is a great deal of debate when judging social media and how it has affected this generation for the better or worse. According to Thompson, Lunsford indicates that technology is motivating and improving the writing capability of our peers today. Personally, I disagree with Thompson’s positive outlook on the effect social media has on students’ writing capability and believe that social media has destroyed and continues to destroy students’ proper writing technique.…

    When I was reading the four stories from the learners in chapter three, I noticed that each of them used different patterns to write their papers. Makayla was one learner that used sequence first. She was very inquiring when it came down to what she was asked to do. Makayla needed to know too much and in this case it led her to have a duel and repetitious assignment. The advice I would give Makayla would be to field fit this, trying to focus using a different learning pattern or approach. Makayla should have written her thoughts down first and not worried so much about being correct, so she would be able to provide new information and a more clearly written paper. Another way for Makayla to field fit would be to start in the middle and not focus on a specific laid out plan. Begging and end come last.…

    The format of this source was in the style of a newspaper article which had clear bold headlines, but not a large enough size to attract your attention although the headlines did highlight the purpose of the article. The font was used continuously throughout the article and kept at a similar size. The audience was mainly aimed towards the public, with an informal tone used as no jargon was used and also no terminology used in order to make it harder to understand, therefore simpler language was used, which best fit the tone used with the audience it was aimed at. With the argument of the author being about the cuts being made in the sexual health services such as Family Planning (FPA) and Brook, the argument clearly stresses the concern at the higher statistics of young people with catching Sexual Transmitted Infections and pregnancy. The Article only contained one image which promoted contraception, showing what kind of services are offered in both Brook and FPA. The language used was in a sense of concern and anxiety with words like “vulnerable” (Williams, 2012) being used, which suggests that concern is being raised. With the lack of statistics and facts used I was not as convinced as I could have been , having said that the articles use of language made it easier to understand so the language used best fit the audience intended. The argument was convincing as it did make me realize the importance of the sexual health services, but as said before, if facts and statistics were included the argument would have been enhanced into an excellent argument.…

Hirsh argues that raising our literacy levels cannot solely depend on researching new and varies “teaching techniques”, but by implementing “cultural literacy” into our school curricula.

Hirsh claims by administering these cultural concepts into the classroom, literacy will increase.…

    The Literacy Nariative that caught my interest was "Proficiency". I chose this Literacy Narriative simply because I believed in her, and maybe, just maybe our problem could have been similar In some ways. I believed I had a test anxiaty beyond me. I just couldn't get over the stress that test brough me; My hands sweat, they would shake, I was unable to think clearly, and it would make absolutley no sense to me because, I have always done well in my classes through and through. The thought of not passing the Fcat or any writing test at all frightened me because, I concider myself a well preformed student. Eventually I somehow pushed myself over that speed bump in my life, I tought myself to relex and to take my time, I tought myself to review…

    I have enjoyed tutoring students through the Literacy Corps for nearly two years. The program has helped push me outside of my comfort zone by leading and teaching students. Without challenging myself, I would never have been able to establish a connection with the many students and teachers in the Syracuse area that I have today. I greatly value these connections and relationships, which have helped further my learning experience in college.…

    Over the past few weeks, the struggling student that I have been observing is called A. I started to know A better when he was undertaking a center plan activity during the literacy class. I inquired about him and he told me that his name is A and he is 6 years old. I asked A about his family back home. He told me that everyone at his home was okay. I probed him for more information about his family and he told me that he lives with his mother and two sisters. He mentioned that both of his sisters are older than him and that his mother is a nurse. When I asked him about other family members, he said that his grandfather comes to visit them once in a while and that he always brings him a gift. For example, the last time A was visited by his…

    “This is the day,” I said to myself mentally as I looked upon a computer screen. “I’m going to need to know sooner or later,” as I hovered the mouse over the ‘Final Grades’ tab before quickly Putting over the exit button. It had been two weeks since the grades had been posted for my spring classes, and I could not gather my nerves to look them up online. I knew that I had done well enough throughout the semester, but I was afraid of unknowingly bombing the final test. Deciding that I was being ridiculous after another week had passed, I gathered my nerves, and clicked the link that said “Final Grades” on my computer screen. I stared intensely at the page when my mind begins to discern the letter grades to be…A, B, A, A, A. I breathed a sigh of relief as I felt an enormous pressure lift of my chest, a vast difference to the last time I was in a similar situation.…

    My Literacy Narrative

    My memory of my how I became literate is and always will be a part of me that I will never forget. I suppose I heard the sounds around me and connected them with emotions. Crying, I noticed, got a quick response from my parents, and usually some food. My communication development was identical to every other child learning to talk. Listening. But everyone has a story behind their literacy. Mine was one day, when we were driving to the grocery store, with the radio turned on, my jam turned on. It was the ABC’s. This song was unexpected, not only because of its difference in the nature of the regular pop songs, but that it was a new song altogether. Nonetheless, I began to rock along with the catchy tune of the song. I longed for more and demanded it…
