Literacy Reflection

To analyze a piece of text, one must read that text, break it down into smaller parts, then elaborate on those little pieces. It is no different when trying to analyze my own piece of text. My text’s topic is on recalling a memory that impacted you greatly in the literacy area. So analyzing it myself should not be too hard considering I can elaborate better on parts that I feel need touched upon, as well as explain why this is so important a little more.
So looking into the text I had created, I can easily see it wasn’t professional in the least. With only two “paragraphs” and no real intro or topic sentence topped off without a really good conclusion makes it seem even worse. When analyzing I have that big mess of a first paragraph in which …show more content…

Another thing I felt I could get better at would be detailing without flying off topic and losing that main purpose for the audience. The detailing could use some work (like everything else), but it is not too bad, at least to me. I could be more specific in certain cases such as, “To me, my older brother was my biggest influence when it came to my reading and writing.” (Sheffield, Eric Major Assignment #1, 2017) where I could have elaborated more, or just used a better sentence in general. But in that first paragraph, what I attempted to get across to my readers was, how important that memory was to me and how it impacted my literacy. Then I explained that memory along with some background information to help the audience understand it a little more. The first half of the extremely long paragraph would be me giving that background information, and sort of set up for the main idea later on. Since I cannot really quote the entire text, I encourage you to read the piece that I previously wrote, but for me, that memory means so much to me. It has more meaning than just it is important for my reading and writing, it is important because it strengthened me and my brother’s bond a little bit. At the same time, my point should be shifted towards the actual purpose of the paper too. I feel I drifted away

My goal for this writing piece is trying not to ramble about stuff to make the piece longer. Do you think having teenagers play a brutal role-playing game is good for them in the long term? Studies have shown that when children play violent games, they pick up on combative behavior, bad language and the way other people act. Imagine all the things they could take away from playing this game. Role-playing games with simulated violence is perilous for kids.

An effective literacy action plan designed to meet the needs of all students in the school is essential to leading a comprehensive and coordinated literacy improvement effort. A literacy action plan allows all members of the school community to understand the school's current status, goals for the future, the actions to be taken to reach the goals, who is responsible, and how success will be measured. Effective use of data is the key to a successful schoolwide literacy initiative. Data on student performance, school and community needs, school capacity, and teacher practices are helpful in developing an effective literacy action plan.

Paragraph ends with a well-written concluding sentence that clearly synthesizes the ideas of the paragraph. Progression of ideas is natural, logical and well-controlled. Cds and Cms are clearly and thoughtfully tied together.

Student is able to free themselves from the writing format and create an original work (when applicable).

Some ways that Literacy has played a role on my life is reading. The earliest memory of reading is sitting out on my tree house reading “Deep and Dark and Dangerous” By, Mary Downing Hahn. I remember she wrote it so creative and lifelike that I can remember a scene so theatrical that I can see it almost as if I was there, It was a scene that the main character was in her room and she described everything from the creek of her window to the cracks in her ceiling. It really intrigued me and made me a better writer and enjoy the little details about books.

In defense of the permissibility of abortion 1. Main argument My purpose in this paper is to critically access Thomson’s defense of the permissibility of abortion and further defend abortion with my supplement. My thesis is that abortion should be permitted by the choice of the pregnant women, premised on the fact that fetus is a person and abortion can only be performed at the cost of the children’s life. And since both the mother and the fetus have the right to life, the fetus may have the right to use the mother’s body, while the mother may also have the right to refuse fetus’s right to use her body.

Poverty plagues not only the developing world, but also still persists in many neighborhoods in the United States, further widening the gap between the rich and the poor. This gap is not purely economic, it is also one of literacy, of technology, and of opportunity. Society’s most powerful tool against poverty, unemployment, and these persistent gaps is education. Schools in low socioeconomic areas often fall behind more well-funded private ones, especially when it comes to technology and multimedia literacy skills, but it is in low socioeconomic areas worldwide where these skills can make all the difference to a child, to a family, and to a community. Dr. Barbara Means, director of the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International, explains, “The need to prepare students for

As I look back at my semester of learning about different cultures, identity, and immigration, I was able to reflect on how to relate this to many different resources, including myself. I was able to grow as a person and gain so much knowledge about different perspectives I would have never learned about without this class. Although people believe adapting to the cultures they do not know about or care about is unnecessary, we need to consider and be knowledgeable about how other cultures work to understand society. Since the world is a diverse place, being unaware to these new cultures will result in a community of people who are unable to grow culturally and keep in the shell of their own cultural society. Coming into college at Butler University,

From middle school to where I am in high school, analyzing literature was one of the almost important aspects of English, however I was not exposed as many strategies as I expected to be. I have known critical analysis as “reading between the lines”, looking for a deeper meaning behind the text. I always believed that analyzing literature was the hardest part of English, and sometimes I could spend hours on just one question that involves it. When I was first introduced to critical analysis, I thought it meant to summarize the plot of a story, or the main idea of a passage. Overtime, I learned that there are underlying themes and messages hidden throughout the texts that we must discover using clues the author gives us.

I took the time to write out an outline for this essay to help manage the chaos that is my writing, unlike my other essays for the course. As I said before, I have learned to question the structure of my paragraphs. For example: when I was revising the Composing Process essay, I noticed that a set of paragraphs could be rearranged and partially rewritten to improve the structure and make the essay flow better. However, I would argue that my Justification video assignment demonstrates my assertion better than my revised essays. From the beginning, I laid out a clear path that my Justification video needed to follow.

Today’s world is a fast-moving, constantly changing place. These days, our culture has advanced so rapidly that it raises the question, should our definition of literacy, the ability to read and write, be altered? Every year language experts sit down to update hundreds of words in our dictionary. Should literacy be one of the words we need to keep updating with the huge waves of change we have experienced in these past 500 years? Before the industrial revolution it was very rare to have the ability to read and write, making literacy a special privilege reserved for the wealthy.

Literacy is a socially constructed concept which is important in shaping a student’s thinking and views, producing high quality of social thinkers and learners which in turn leads to nation development. To nurture the literacy among the students, teachers take into a great account. Literacy has been studied in different conceptual frameworks and was revealed to be subjective to individuals. How a teacher perceive literacy shape their views and beliefs towards it. Teachers’ belief about literacy can be viewed as the teachers’ beliefs “in determining how (they) teach reading and writing” (Falcón-Huertas, 2006, p. 27).
