Comparing my padlet predictions to what was actually in the article, I was fairly accurate in my predictions. The Miller and Schulz article was about near exactly what I described, that being a development of a new teaching strategy to aid in the learning of literacy for all students, specifically so that all could learn at close to the same pace. However, where I was wrong was that the “basic set of literacies” mentioned in the article when I first skimmed through it was something I assumed to be closer to the more intellectual idea of “classic literary works”, like Charles Dickens’ books or Greek stories. The focus was instead on a general proficiency in many literary sections, allowing students to “participate in the university system” with more ease. I think the reason why my prediction was so accurate definitely had to do with the fact that I skimmed over the article and payed more attention to the sub headings. Because of how well labeled the sub headings were, they gave me a good idea of what the article was about. The fact that I also directly read some of the article also undeniably helped.

According to the length of each segment that is titled for each of the four literacies, Miller and Schulz's articles discuss the four different literacies in great detail. After going into great detail, they continue by outlining the significance of combining all four forms of literacy. These subjects came to my attention when reading the section headings and scanning the end.

After scanning through the article using the scan, skim, predict method I believe that the main idea of the article includes multiple literacy skills that are needed for university. There are 4 total literacy skills that are suggested and with those introduced it then explains how students will be able to be successful in the future and to be able to understand/communicate in university. What led me to this prediction was the subtitles and the chart of what the 4 multiliteracies were; Institutional, Critical, Traditional, and Academic literacy. I read bits of the subtitle paragraphs to get the information on what the differences of the literacies were why students need these ideas.

The most prominent aspect of the article seemed to be this new form of literacy education and how that focuses on attempting to shrink the gap of advantages between students so that all of the students who come to the university will come with sufficiently filled “virtual backpacks” the knowledge that they come prepared with from their own lives as they arrive to the university setting. A specific point within the article was about selecting the certain “starting point” literacies to start students off well in their journey, likely an aspect of the new form of literacy education.

The major notion of the article, based on my cursory reading, is related to various literacies and how kids learn to understand and produce them. The essay has lists of several literacies, and as I skimmed it, I noticed that the word "student" was frequently used. This ties in with a common theme of the articles we've read in class, which is the value of reading and writing abilities and college-level writing. I think this post will discuss the literacies needed for college using the Scan, Skim, Predict format.
In order to succeed in college-level classes, students will need to possess some of these basic literacy skills. Additionally, how these literacy skills can benefit students' future careers, society.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the Scan, Skim, Predict format, I believe that this article is going to talk about literacies that are required for college. College level classes will need their students to have some of these common literacies to actively do well in the class. Also, how these literacies will help students in their future careers, society, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
What I took away from briefly skimming through the article is that the main idea has to do with different kinds of literacies and how students learn to comprehend them and write. There are lists of different literacies in the article and I saw the word "student" mentioned a lot when skimming. This goes along with the theme of many of the articles we read in this class; those being about college level writing and the importance of reading and writing skills.

Predicting Milller and Schulz Article by using SSP

After I scammed and skimmed the article, I predict that it is mainly about the different kinds of literacies that students require before they get to universities. There are two major parts in this article. One part introduces the four kinds of literacies, which are institutional literacies, critical literacies, academic literacies, and traditional literacies. And the second part is explaining the reasons why these literacies are important to students in the modern society. I got these information by reading the first a few sentences in each section.

Prediction of the Main Idea of Miller and Schulz Article

# data[].attributes.body
From scanning and skimming the article, I think the main idea of Miller and Schulz's article is the importance of providing students in tertiary school with the four key literacies in order to be successful in and outside of school: institutional, critical, traditional, and academic. These four literacies are mentioned in the abstract, and they are all subheadings, so I know they will be of great significance for this article. In addition, with subheadings like "Implementation," "Why multi-literacies?," and "Thinking 'critically' about the multiliteracies framework," I came to the conclusion that Miller and Schulz want to stress the importance of these four literacies and why they should be provided to students.

After scanning and skimming, I predict the central idea of this article is about four different literacy skills that college students need to master in order to adapt to different environments. The whole article would introduce and explain what the four university literacies are, what their focuses are, what values would bring the college students, why they are important, and some critiques of them. My prediction was mostly based on the introduction, subtitles, the picture, and the first sentence of each part. From the introduction, I already knew what the article was going to talk about because the background information opened the topic. The picture apparently showed four different literacies and the arrows showed they were somewhat connected. I also looked at the first sentence of each part to make certain of the main idea.

SSP Miller and Schulz Article Prediction

Using SSP, I predict that this article will cover some of the most common literacies required for a college level institution. My interpretation is that these literacies are like a particular set of skills that will allow students to navigate classes easier. I also observed one the main points of the article, which stresses the importance of mastering multiple literacies, so I expect that it will also explain the importance of being multi-literate. Since the subject of this article is mainly writing based, evidence provided would most likely be excerpts cited from other written sources.

I think that this article will primarily center around the teaching of literacy practices in tertiary education. I think it will also introduce a basic framework for how tertiary education can help and improve people's literacy skills in order to make the subject less daunting towards students and more well suited for the university fields they are pursuing. During my scan, I noted that they were talking a lot about the different kinds of literacies (through the subheadings) and different ways of implementation which is how I came to my conclusion.

Using the Scan, Skim, Predict reading strategy, I predict that the main idea of the reading is to show us four key university literacies. It will include how important these literacies are in this new multimedia world we are living in where we are surrounded by texts and how they are connected. I was able to make this prediction by reading the title, headings, subheadings, and the first paragraph of each new section. I also looked at the figure where it shows the four key literacies and that told me that the article was going to go in depth into each of the different types of literacies.

# data[].attributes.body
The Miller and Schulz article talks about 4 different literacies, going in depth about each one judging by the length of each section that is titled for each of the literacies. After going in depth, it goes on to explain the importance of all 4 literacies being used together. I picked up these topics from section titles as well as skimming the conclusion.

Using SSP, I found the main idea to be about the importance of teaching multiple and varieties of literacies to students. The reason behind this is in order to prepare them for different situations in the world other than the actual university. As I skimmed through the reading, I noticed that students were being taught four different types of literacies in the multiliteracies framework which were "key" to learn for "different situations" and "different times." What also led up to my prediction was the university system discussed in the reading. The writers stated a single literacy doesn't fulfill the goal of preparing students for different situations outside of school and they also mentioned ways to implement these types of literacy to their work in order for the student to be prepared.

# data[].attributes.body
I picked up that the main idea is about Universities providing students with multiple literacies in order for them to prepare for the variety that comes with University level composition.
I came to the conclusion by skimming the start of the paragraphs along with the introduction. I noticed the chart in the article displaying the different types of literacy and that alone told me about the diverse literature.

# data[].attributes.body
After scanning and skimming the article, I was able to pick up and predict that the article will be about how students will be able to be successful during their time in a university when they explore all the different types of literacies out there, and not just academic or book-based literacies. I was able to get this prediction by skimming the abstract and conclusion, and then noticing the different headings.
