Literacy Class
Literacy Class 10/17/07
Discussion about David Olson, great divide theory of literacy.
No class excites me intellectually quite as much as this class. How meaning is made. How we draw meaning from text. What it means to know, to communicate what we know.
What implications do the things I’m learning have for my larger school trajectory? What are the implications for policy of what I am learning in this class? For immigrants and language policy? I feel like answering this question will get me over a hump in terms of my commitment to and excitement about my own learning and knowledge-building.
Maybe I should do what Liz is doing and share programs–go half and half with policy and literacy.
