At first, I couldn't possibly understand why I needed a class based on literacy when my subject area is math. I quickly realized how much apart of math literacy really is. I didn't realize how much work could be done in such a class either, but learning how students learn and different approaches to get them to participate and think critically have now become important roles that I need to incorporate into my classroom. I've learned the different types of literacy - it doesn't just apply to something like english. Literacy can include computers, music, art, etc. - it doesn't just apply to words.
It was a great idea to have all of us share different lessons we would like to do with our students from our unit plans. Because they applied literacy, I think it's possible for many of those different activities to be interdisciplinary.
The hypertext activity was a real eye-opener, and I would like to try that with a group of mature high school students to see how they will react.
Thank you for a wonderful and incredibly insightful class, Dr. Dana!
