Scanning and skimming

While scanning the article I can tell by the pie chart that the authors are talking about four different types of literacies. As I scroll through it, the subtitles tell me that the author is also talking about how to implement multi-literacies into society and why it is important. While skimming through it I noticed that italicized words stood out to me. I got that the importance of multi- literacies is that since just one literacy is not enough, multi literacies are crucial to implement into the broader community. Each literacy gives us different skills that will help us in university context. The authors also list what is included in each literacy and it is very organized. Later, they also provide examples and more information about implementing and the importance of it like meritocracy.

When scanning and skimming through the article I predict that it would introduce the idea that there are multiple types of literacies. I believe that the author is going to talk about how in this day and age, the modern-day reader needs to be equipped with multiple literacies in order to succeed. I predict that an emphasis will be put on how changes in technology such as the digital medium will impact the needs for readers to be able to sort through online text. Due to this, the author will then start talking about how it could be implemented into the current education. I also predict that Miller and Schulz will talk about how literacy is constantly evolving and interacting with readers. They further explain how literacy not only shaped by people, it can also shape people as well.

In the initial skimming of the article, you can already see, by the title, that subject of the article is a multiliteracy model in universities. When scrolling down further the article contains a model defining and connecting Institutional Literacies, Critical Literacies, Academic Literacies, and Traditional Literacies. Each of these literacies are further elaborated on further down the text, as you can see by the subtitles of the later paragraphs. The subtitles after this set mostly include multiliteracies, except some seemingly out-of-pocket terms I assume are defined as well. My skimming lead me to believe the author may have been advocating or dis-encouraging the idea of multiliteracy use in the college classroom. Upon actually scanning the article I see that Miller and Schulz are advocates for the use of multiliteracy style curriculums in college classrooms, because the skills developed from each type of core literacy is equally important and beneficial to new writers. The authors suggest that learning a broad spectrum of literacy styles is necessary in improving academic versatility. Overall, my prediction of the articles main idea, is that the success of writers in college is greatly improved by coursework that utilizes multiliteracy centered instruction.

While skimming the article, I can automatically tell what the author may discuss. Based off the introduction, the theme of the article is about a multi literacy framework of which is composed of institutional, academic, critical, and traditional literacies. From further skimming of the article, and seeing the subtitles. The author goes into more detail on each type of literacy. I predict Miller and Schultz will explain why a multi literate framework is important in higher education and society. (considering the conclusion of the essay)

After skimming the article, I see that the author has formed a list of things which the students need to read, that is, different types of reading passages. The author also mention why multi-literacies is important and what the university students need from reading the multi-literacies. From my opinion, the author is going to state a framework of literacies that the students need and how these literacies are useful to the students.

As a result of scanning and skimming the Miller and Schulz article, I was able to predict that the main idea will be about different student literacies and its importance. I was able to make this prediction because of the subtitles that are titled, "traditional literacies," "academic literacies," "multi-literacies." Im assuming these paragraphs will break down the literacies and explain how they are crucial and useful for english writing. I was able to further expand this prediction by the first sentence of the introduction, as well as the first sentence of the conclusion. They cover the development of students literacies, and the 20th century. Thus, by comparing and putting these two ideas together I can expect to read about how literacies have evolved throughout English writing and is expected to be included in future composition.

As I skimmed through the Miller and Schultz article, I noticed a lot of repetitive terms one being the "multi literacy" framework. Skimming and scanning the text allowed me to realize that the article will focus on the crucial multi-literacies needed for students to succeed in college. There is a total of four main literacies shown in a pie chart: Institutional, critical, academic, and traditional literacies. As I skimmed deeper into the text, the author goes in depth for each of the literacies. I continued to scan the text which led me to my prediction. I anticipate the author to represent the four literacies and explain why they are important for college students who are learning how to read and write. I compared the introduction and the conclusion which led me to my final thought, the author may want to input these skills to show how beneficial they are not only at the academic level but for real life scenarios as well.

After scanning the Miller and Schulz text, I see that this is kind of organized like a scientific paper. I say that mainly because of the abstract at the top. Abstracts give the reader an overview of the upcoming text. Just like a scientific paper there is an introduction following the abstract. Then it seems the main content is derived from that diagram/image. The headers of the following sections are numbers 1-4 and then the titles are the corresponding section of the diagram. Then the rest of the text seems to contain application of the numbers 1-4 and is followed by a conclusion. After skimming, I believe the main idea is that the multi literacy framework should be implemented into schools. She has four passages explaining what the four multi literacies are. Then the rest of the text discusses how the multi literacies are used in the 21st century. The point is that since the world is changing we need to adapt the way we teach students.

After scanning the Miller and Schulz text, and I think the main point is about the different literacies and the importance for the students. As I skimmed I noticed they kept bringing up "traditional" and "nontraditional" educational experiences and how the importance and difference between these two. The pie chart shows four different type of literacies so I'm assuming they are going to go more in depth on this and the importance of them for students.

While scanning I right away noticed that there are graphs and many things written in chronological orders. This makes me think that there are steps or some type of order that is being taught.
After skimming the text I learned that it has something to do with reading and writing expectations and curriculum amongst English speaking countries. It also talks about new ways teachers are incorporating technology into their teaching.
I predict that this article is about how the reading and writing curriculum is changing and how accommodations are made for students who lack certain necessary skill sets to succeed in their academics. These accommodations are being met through modern approaches such as using technology and new ways of assessing progress and more.

After scanning the Miller and Schulz text, I think the main idea is how to complete and handle reading and writing assignments to please your professor. When skimming the title, piecharts it had some literacies listed on it and the numbered list had led me to believe that the article is about how college students should do to fulfill the requirement of an assignment and how to tackle different readings and assignments to in college.

University Literacy: A Multi Literacies Model by Andrew Miller and Samantha Schulz, with an initial look at the title, I already assumed this text would be about literacy within the university level. Specifically, the different types of literacy in university and its contents. Additionally, it also seems like the text is about the requirements for literacy in university writing because throughout the text there are numbered sentences which I would assume are steps for perfecting literacy. This may be used as a guide for professors and an introduction for students to higher-level writing.

mjedunn — 2023-10-14 04:27:57 UTC

Upon first scanning the article, the key words in the title about multiple literacies gave me the idea that the author was going to discuss why it is important to consider those various literacies to be taught in our current educational settings. Sure enough, further skimming the paragraphs and fully reading the conclusion made me further predict that this passage is going to be about the urgency that university students must be reading from a literacy framework of multiple perspectives and techniques, given how we all have unique ways of learning as individuals and live in a more globalized world in general. The article would likely dive into a little bit of evolution regarding writing pedagogy to further make the point of why sticking to a limited one-size-fits-all set of literacy to just "complete" is costly to students.

When scanning the article, I noticed a chart on one of the pages, and at the end of the article, I saw that there are a lot of references that are used. After skimming the article, I further realized that the references have something to do with literature or English. The next detail I noticed is that the main titles and a lot of the sub-titles have the word literacy in them. The last thing I noticed is that the chart also has different forms of literacy. With all of this information I gathered from scanning and skimming, I predict that this article will mention different types of literacy used in education and what makes them all different from each other. I also predict that they will talk about the literacy used in college and share strategies on how to read these pieces of literacy.

When scanning the article, the main idea that this text will be about is the different literacies there are. As I was skimming through the reading, I came upon a pie chart that described 4 types of literacies. It could be about the whole main point or be part of the main idea. There were also the words, "traditional" and "nontraditional" which could also play a role in the main idea of literacies. This could be to help students understand that there is a variety of literacies in writing and the importance of them.

As I scanned the article, the first thing that stood out to me other than the titles was the large pie chart. It depicted 4 types of literacies and how they are all somehow intertwined with one another. The literacies covered are Institutional, Critical, Traditional, and Academic. I can predict that the article will break down each of these different types of literacies and explain what they are and how they are used in different writing styles. From the main title, as well as this chart, I can make the assumption that the article will dive into college literacy and how it is broken down into sub-categories, as well as how these categories assist students in college-level writing.

While scanning through the text, I noticed that there are different types of literacies including: institutional, critical, traditional, and academic, as well as frameworks in the different headings that I read. I also noticed that some of the passages had list describing the features of the different literacies, naming different aspects of them. Later on in the passage, I noticed the topics of implementation and multi-literacies. Perhaps we'll see more of these literacies put in practice and maybe combined later on. Using the information I had gathered throughout my skimming and scanning, I predict that the main idea of Miller and Schulz's article is the importance of understanding and combing these literacies in higher education as well as outside of it.

javalosgaribay — 2023-10-14 06:41:12 UTC

While scanning, I was able to identify the word "literacies" repeated throughout the entire reading task. They all had a different word before which I am guessing makes it a different type of literacy. Based on that guess, I believe this reading is going to explain about all the different types of literacies while also talking about the institution as a whole. I also saw a peak about something being modern day so I believe it might talk about something that happened either a few years ago or right now. Also, the references at the end had education and literacy repeated in them so I am sure that it is going to go in depth on how to learn the system before being part of it ensuring success for the students.
