    My Literacy Journey

    “A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge,” said by a famous American novelist, George R.R. Martin. Personally, I couldn’t agree more with this quote. Books are always being with me throughout my life. My literacy journey started when I was nine years old. I started with some simple Dairy and short stories.…

    The Sponsors Of Literacy Summary

    In the reading, The Sponsors of Literacy by Deborah Brandt she talks about how literacy was received and withheld from people because of socio-economic classes. Brandt claims that there is a connection between literacy and economic development or as she refers to them as sponsors of literacy which can either help, sensor, or withhold all together the ability to be literate. Literacy provides an upward mobility or at least the means to move upward in social classes and without literacy there is no means to gain an edge. In her interviews of Raymond Branch (European American) and Dora Lopez (Mexican American) Brandt found that even though both were born in the same year and had moved to the same town when they were younger Branch was introduced…

    The Impossible Climb: A Rhetorical Criticism

    I will discuss characters, events, and theme which I will later use in the application of this method in order to rhetorically critique the artifact. According to Walter Fisher (1987), “Narratives are fundamental to communication and provide structure for human experience and influence people to share common explanations and understandings” (p. 58). Any artifact can be used with this method that has at lest two events and/or as a timeline of events. Sonja Foss (2009) explains the steps as, “Identifying the objective of the narrative; and identifying the features of the narrative to discover how they accomplish the objective…” and says sometimes a third step is necessary; “assessing or evaluating the narrative according to the particular objective”(p. 310). There are many different objectives that frequently illustrate narratives. The goal could be to encourage action, to comfort, to teach, to clarify thinking, etc. (Foss, 2009). The next step involves determining the components of the narrative that develop the objective of the narrative. These descriptions or components that support the narrative are the characters, events, and theme that I will discuss in regards to the artifact. Characters in the narrative are just like the characters in a movie or book. Characters can be human and nonhuman or inanimate phenomena (Foss, 2009). Characters can contrast each other in many ways, such as a protagonist and antagonist. Events can be broken up into major and minor events such as plotlines, happenings, etc. (Foss, 2009). Foss explains (2009) that major events “suggest critical points in the narrative” and “force movement in particular directions”(p. 313). Minor events are used in conjunction with major events to help support them. Foss writes (2009), “Their function is to fill out, elaborate, and complete…”(p. 313). Foss also explains that although helpful, minor events are not essential to the narrative and could…

    11-12th Grade Literacy

    I hope to one day teach secondary education, with an endorsement in English. Ideally, I want to teach high school juniors and seniors. For that reason, on this assignment I decided to focus on the common core standards of juniors and seniors. One of the themes that I noticed when reading through the standards for 11-12th grade literacy is that many of them focused on the students ability to analyze and think critically. It challenges students to not only interpret the text, but also to infer from it. An example of that is standard one, “ Cite strongly and through to textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text…” (CCTS,2016). Students are asked to not only understand what a…

    My Literacy Journey

    I’ve always had the desire to write beautifully, from penmanship to placement and flow of the words. I remember getting birthday cards from my Granny with elegant cursive writing. Attracted to the way each word blended so smooth and soft, I would get a piece of paper and mimic the slants of each word connecting each letter, more like one lowercase “l” after another, to the next. One day I’d be able to spell the words in my mind, and until that day I’d practice my “cursive” one squiggly line at a time.…

    My Literacy Journey

    My literacy journey had a very interesting beginning. I am a first generation Mexican American, and as being first generation my first language is Spanish, everyone I interacted with when I was young was family or Hispanic. I picked up on some English from watching kid shows but I never really knew what the words meant. Prior to starting preschool, the school got me and my mother into an ELL summer class to get a head start on the school year. Up until around first grade or so I always had to meet with the ELL teacher to check on my progress and make sure I was doing okay in school.…

    Why Literacy Is Important To Me

    Literacy is everywhere: from reading signs, to menus, to checking the time. It is important in our everyday life, especially to take a break from the world. Literacy is important to be creative, and to help use our ability to imagine what is happening in our stories while we are writing. The experience of going with a character on their journey can be life changing in some perspectives. The experience of growing up with these characters from literature was the best thing; whether it was being on edge during the climax, or feeling sad when I’m near the end.…

    How to Write an Igcse Empathic Writing

    Candidates will be asked to explore a specific moment through the eyes of one particular character in the set novel/ play/ short story. As well as showing knowledge of the incident concerned, depending on the particular task it may be helpful if candidates demonstrate some awareness of what has led up to it. Their identification with the character might also be conditioned by their awareness of what happens to the character later in the novel/play (if that is appropriate to the task), though this will probably not be referred to specifically. Through their responses, candidates are expected to demonstrate detailed knowledge of the text and the character; but the tasks are not invitations merely to re-tell a story.…
