Prediction

jcdawahare — 2023-10-11 21:55:20 UTC

I think the main ideas of the article will be about multi-literacies and how they affect how college students write. I think it is a new type of writing process that will help students get better at writing. I also saw a couple statements that students must be engaged to be able to learn. Some of the sub titles led me to this conclusion and while I was skimming I saw some similar things.

I think that the Miller and Schulz article with revolve around the different types of literacies and what they entail. I think they will explain these different forms of literacies and how they can be helpful with the reading and writing process. Additionally there was sections breaking down the types of literacies into academic or digital etc which will support how there are different forms of literacies which led me to this prediction. I think this article will also give insight on how these different forms of literacy can give people a more well-rounded view of certain topics.

I think the main ideas regarding Miller and Schulz's article would discuss multi-literacy frameworks and an in debt explanation of their components. I'm assuming they'll provide different resources in order to help students prepare for higher education or just improve their knowledge of literacies. I saw a guide/ list of tasks that were provided which could help when approaching critical literacy. It seemed pretty straight forward and simple to follow, which i would assume to be helpful for students.

After a quick scan and skim of this article, I think the main idea of this article is that in modern society, student should not have the ability just on their basic reading and writing strategies; instead, they should have other high-level abilities as well. The article pointed out how and what to do to reach this goal. I noticed that many titles from this article and the chart in the article indicates we should learn those stuff together. Also, in the conclusion, it mentions that college students should have this kind of ability.

After skimming Miller and Schulz's article, I think the main idea is that students in modern society are at the center of literacy practice due to the amount of resources they can access. However, the writer suggests that students should learn literacy skills and examine how literacy plays a role in society. I think Miller and Schulz's article will also talk about different forms of literacy.

ldreal — 2023-10-12 22:26:25 UTC

1. I think the main ideas of the text will revolve around professor opinions on college writing classes that are based on their own classroom performances. The features that I noticed while skimming through the article was the title and the several headers through the text, this brought ideas of explanations to their opinions.
2. i think my prediction was somewhat accurate. Although the text went a lot more in detail on professor opinions on college writing classes based on their own classroom performances. I think scanning and skimming did affect my experience of the article in a positive way. After being able to make a prediction, I felt more focused in finding key points that would approve my rejection, making it easier to read.

Based off of what I saw skimming through, such as the bolded headers, the abstract, and the general formatting/organization of the article, I think that the main idea of the passage will revolve around different types of literacies students need to have and learn to be effective writers in college.

Predict the Miller and Schulz article

achurd1 — 2023-10-13 00:48:46 UTC

1.) I think the main argument in the Miller and Schulz article will be around how students at this day and age should have high reading and writing abilities in all core literacies. That they should be able to write a more than above average paper on why this explain something in a core, traditional, modern or scientific literacies. I think another important part of the article will be about how college students need to be taught more about how to write in the correct way and be taught that rather than just being told to do so and learn strategies
on the best way to do so.

Through a brief scan and skim of the Miller and Schulz article, I predict that the main topic is about different kinds of literacies. Many headings consisted of different types of literacies and others with most likely tools or resources that can be utilize to master or understands the different kinds of literacies. Moreover, I believe the Miller and Schulz will claim that mastering the different types of literacies will improve one's writing or reading skills.

Prediction for the Miller and Schulz Article

ewswanson — 2023-10-13 01:31:35 UTC

After scanning the Miller and Schulz article I believe that I have a perfunctory grasp on what the main ideas are. The purpose of the article is to prepare students for what they do post secondary education. Miller and Schulz present 4 types of literacies. Depending on what you are doing post secondary education, the type of literacy will vary. The article then goes into detail about what each type of literacy is, how to succeed in them, and finally how to implement them. I was led to this prediction by the graphs, abstract, and headlines.

STEP 1: After skimming the reading, I think that the main idea is about providing university students with various literacies for them to master the content. I saw a chart showing four types of literacies(institutional, critical, academic, traditional). I think the authors will also touch upon the multimedia components we have today as I saw a heading about that towards the end of the article.

I predict that the main point of Miller and Schulz's article is to create a learning system that expands to make up for the growing media and the diverse English abilities of students. What led me to make this prediction is the fact that the multi literacy model included digital and cultural aspects. The goal of the model is create a system for students to learn and accomodating the learning towards modern society is their goal.

I think that the main idea of the text is going to solely focus on the way multiple literacies can be used to contribute to ones success in education. While skimming, I seen a chart that was broken into 4 about different literacies that there are. I think it will also go on to talk about one literacy isn't always the best literacy for learning and that multiple can even be beneficial.

Prediction

nlthi — 2023-10-13 06:16:20 UTC

Step 1: Miller and Schchulz's article is about a 4 part literacy system (multi literacy model) that is supposed to help students improve upon their abilities by directly engaging in the act of literacy practice rather than simply passively observing. There was a diagram of the multi literacy model explaining each of its components. After reading the abstract and conclusion which both spoke of directly confronting the constant expansion of literacy in order to grow, I'm assuming the multi literacy model is a framework just for that.

Step 2: My prediction was on point, but not completely there., The simple summary I gave didn't encapsulate the potential of the multi literacy system, but gave the general idea. Where my prediction mainly differed was how the multi literacy model is more of a structuring "view/perspective" rather than a actual model. Scanning, skimming, and predicting helped tremendously with my reading speed. I typically always read word by word, which enabled deep understanding at the cost of time. The new technique is more practical in terms of time and adequate understanding in terms of the course's goals.

jkmalone1 — 2023-10-13 06:26:42 UTC

After skimming through Miller and Schulz, what I took from it is it's about various ways to prepare students in a literacy aspect for during and after college. How to enhance college students learning experience. It also provides a key on framework for different literacies that are helpful to retain information on to be successful + effective in college and keeping a growth mindset. What helped me come to this conclusion was the abstract and the chart provided that shows different types of literacies.

tpate14 — 2023-10-13 06:29:04 UTC

I predict the key idea of the article is that universities and education needs to teach a wider range of literacies and not just academic literacies. While I was scanning I read a lot of information that stated the corporate world and universities value literacies in areas that are most beneficial outside of academia. This refers to reading, writing, and communication skills. I also read that universities are ill-prepared to help students in the wide range of literacies because of what they value. I also read that students have a large array of literacies such as ones in the digital world, face-to-face communication, etc. This contributed to my thinking that the article's main point is about how universities should expand students' range of literacies.

wnjli — 2023-10-13 06:34:53 UTC

I speculate that the main idea of the article is about the impact and inspiration on literacy teaching in the current information age. The Multi-Literacy model is adapted to this situation: it does not treat students as passive recipients of literacy teaching, but rather involves them in the literacy framework. Literacy should be a lifelong tool for students and constantly change to adapt to the environment with the development of society.

After a brief skim and scan of Miller and Schultz I can predict that the main idea will entail different kinds of literacies and their value to writing. The broader one's literary scope is the more prepared these students are for college academics. The different literacies can be observed learn from and used in the understanding of literature and creating literature.
