Reflections on a Word by Ezette Grauf https://padlet.com/ezette4/1949tsfjvjeiag8q REFLECTION ON A WORD Protocol Part 1 LITERACY: Each person first writes on the padlet and then shares orally in a Go-Round his or her take on the word or a term. There is no dialogue, nor is there any discussion. A variation can be to put these on chart paper and post for a “gallery walk. We will use the padlet. Part 2 If I only had 20 Mins...because Each person writes what they would spend the 20 mins on Then Round Robin say what you would spend it on and add why. Step 3 As a group having heard all ideas see if you can come to agreement on what you would agree to spend the 20 mins on en-us 2021-05-19 09:08:28 UTC 2025-11-03 16:32:42 UTC hello@padlet.com Swati swatigupta2 https://padlet.com/ezette4/1949tsfjvjeiag8q/wish/1647319333 Literacy for me would mean the ability to engage independently with a text with the clear purpose of making meaning, analysis of author's craft and being able to articulate one's understanding of the text through oral discussions and written means.

Literacy to me is a complex and a dynamic process. It is a persistent process which shapes the ideas and opinions of an individual. In addition to the interaction with a text, it also includes the decoding of the compelling ideas which are portrayed through images.

Literacy is a central thinking skill that helps in reading texts in deeper, more meaningful ways, by constructing understanding and not be used by the text to fulfill the intentions of the author. It involves the questioning and examination of ideas, and requires one to synthesise, analyse, interpret, evaluate and respond to the texts read or narrated.

Review of my understanding of literacy....connecting with what Prof. Allen Luke said, literacy is about learning how to work through text and engage as 'Critical social scientists - to go deeper into how to understand facts, truths and realities. It is about tuning eyes and ears to how text works- understanding how the author's background, use of language, visuals, intonations, etc. are positioned to have an impact on the readers. It is about having a critical & constructive skepticism towards presented information. It is about reading the world.]]> 2021-07-21 07:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ezette4/1949tsfjvjeiag8q/wish/1656913648 Literacy is (1)ability to engage with the written text, picture or an image (2)make deeper connections with it (3) assimilate and form a belief/impression about it which may have its own uniqueness.(4)stay with the belief until subsequent readings alter that belief to form a new one.
