Discussion Details
With this being such a dense and complicated reading, I want students to work through their thoughts in this discussion board. Based on the reading, I want you to do ONE of the following:
- Write an initial discussion board post of 200-250 words
- Record a 3-5 minute audio file
- Record a 3-5 minute video
Regardless of what option you choose, I want you to provide a definition of literacy sponsors based on what you read in "Sponsors of Literacy." Be as specific and precise as possible when creating your definition. Also, I want you to discuss how Brandt shows the way literacy is evolving and changing. Finally, pick out one of the people Brandt writes about and connect them both with your definition of literacy and how it is evolving.
In your two peer responses, those should all be written (100-150 words) regardless of whether you're responding to a video, audio file, or writing. In the responses, illustrate what you agree with about the response, what you disagree with, and any questions a person's response raises.
I realize students may not have a full understanding of the reading, but by going through this discussion exercise, I hope you will help each other create meaning.
