As an English Education major, I already knew that literacy was going to be a needed skill in my classrooms. This class has helped to expand my understanding of the broadness of the concept of literacy. Literacy includes any system of meaning, any form of gleaning information from symbols. This will apply to every facet of my teaching: reading, group discussions, hypothesizing, etc. The book project that was required for this course, which was was designed to foster our literary abilities, is an example of the type of projects that I will be assigning to my students.
