Welcome to Literacy 518

I am hoping that this summer we will explore the notion of literacy as a bridge to achievement-and we will use this wiki to communicate with one another-share information and raise critical questions!

Literacy paper-due July 2 Please write at least 2-3 pages-in the narrative voice-describing your own experiences with literacy- your own definition of literacy-and your thinking about how you know a person is literate in your content area.





So, I want to add what the groups came up with for Literacy definitions to start:

Communicating Comprehension Knowledge Reading for Comprehension Writing Clearly and concisely Multiple forms Comprehension within context-metacognition Involves reading writing and speaking The Goal: to teach fluency and mastery One should be aware of other forms of literacy-technology-media etc.

Also, the strategies we worked with 6/30:
