I teach third grade and this coming year I will only be teaching reading and writing (we are departmentalizing). So I am quite literally only teaching 'literacy' but I need to remember how to tie in all the new literacies and not just the same old text books...I better get planning!Emily Keatinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11922525729474664818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864823749958335107.post-89829306767461802962015-06-13T19:05:56.253-04:002015-06-13T19:05:56.253-04:00Hi Remi, thanks for reading.

As far as relevance to my practice, I did address this in an older post about legibility, which I now realize is another way of speaking about literacy.

I too was afraid of the concept of "...William,<br />I too was afraid of the concept of "more time on text" until my principal explained that when I give my students mathematical questions including equations, graphs, etc (like you mentioned) I am providing my students with more time on text.<br /><br />You are right - even though I am a math teacher I am still teaching literacy. In the book they even discuss how literacy is any transaction between the heads of two people basically. Can you interpret and analyze information and then do something with it for the better.<br /><br />I really enjoyed your blog post.

I have not done my due diligence to research the topic. But because of some of the rabble I only peripherally heard, I was surprised that Common Core made room for such literacy.

Or frightening or confusing? And which have relevance to your practices as an educator, and one with a specialized disciplinary grounding? These are types of questions I hope we can unpack this term, using storytelling as a medium for exploration and expression.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10912467268757762443noreply@blogger.com
