I define literacy as the level of understanding one has for a given topic. In the school setting, we typically define this through reading and writing, just as you say in your PD. However, I feel that, for someone to be literate in other things such as computer literacy, one must be able to exhibit understanding of that topic in an appropriate way. Typically, that can be exhibited through demonstrating a baseline knowledge of the topic.

My district has very consistent literacy/writing expectations across all grade levels. Each grade level teaches and enhances three different types of writing throughout the year: narrative, argument, and expository.

Starting a classroom library is a strategy that i'm currently working on! I have an extra large bookcase in my classroom that i'm slowly, but surely, filling with books. Most I have read, but some i'm throwing in to add more genres and styles of writing that just aren't my taste. (:

I love love love this idea of windows and mirrors. In education, there needs to be this dual purpose for literature and media. Not only should it reflect perspectives of people students have never seen before, but it should also reflect perspectives and struggles that readers face everyday. I think seeing that in something mainstream like a popular book or movie validates that experience and shows readers that their experiences and cultures matter.

In the last two years, i've started using audiobooks to listen while I follow along in a physical book. I have found that I comprehend better and have a better focus.

I have followed other social media accounts for ideas and encouragement in education. I actually attended a Shakespeare festival (digitally) over spring break this year because I saw it advertised on Instagram!

Unfortunately, there is a lack of collaboration between teachers and the LMS at my school. I think that's why I focused so hard on collaboration in my PD.

The library also doubles as our book room for class sets of novels, but aside from Chromebook issues, there is little to no communication. Hoping to change that!

I used the board game, "Snake Oil" while I student taught, and it did wonders for teaching argument and rhetorical situation!

You are given products and consumers, and you must create commercials or advertisements to sell that item to that consumer. Super fun, and students got a lot out of it.
