Literacy allows me to control my own narrative; to define myself for myself; to heal; to write and read the stories my soul needs]]> 2021-10-27 20:06:14 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849356520 https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849358074 Jamison Schoonover

Literacy allows me to interact with the world and other people on a higher level. It lets me gather knowledge and think and express my own ideas in the same manner. ]]> 2021-10-27 20:07:03 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849358074 Daniel Dwyer https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849358954 (He/him)
Prompt: Literacy allows one to find the words to properly tell their own stories.  It lets someone express how they are feeling, but they need the right words to be able to convey it to everyone else]]> 2021-10-27 20:07:33 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849358954 lannona1 https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849359222 Alex

This question makes me think of the zines, queer writing groups, open mic nights, dance performances, art shows, punk rock music videos, and Instagram posts I've used to share who I am throughout the years. I can create counter-narratives to what mainstream society says I should be/behave/act/believe. ]]> 2021-10-27 20:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849359222 Dr. Gill (she/they) https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849359264 Literacy allows me to author my own stories, to travel time and space, to escape and to remain in my body, to heal and to transform, to provide a voice and my narrative beyond me, literacy allows me legacy

Literacy gives me the words to tell my story, and to better understand the world through the stories that others tell. Seeing myself in texts is relatively easy, but literacy gives me the tools to find others there, too.]]> 2021-10-27 20:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849359455 Jennifer Hynes https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849359487 she/her

Literacy allows me to express myself in my own way. It has built me up to who I am today through conversations, books, music, moving, and much more. I hope it does the same for my students.]]> 2021-10-27 20:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849360786 Annel https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849360895 She/her

In writing screen plays and lessons for my students. I am an artist so my artistry is a HUGE literacy that brings me great JOY! I want to share with my students! and of course verbal literacy!!! Communication with everyone! Connection! https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849361324 2021-10-27 20:08:51 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849361324 Maria Rios-Zendejas (she/they) https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849361347 Literacy gives me the power to make and remake myself.

By both reading and writing, singing and acting, I am able to tap into the creativity that my soul craves. Reading especially allows me to let go of the real world for a while and just be in someone else's narrative. Literacy has given me so much in my life and when I most need it, an escape from reality through literature. ]]> 2021-10-27 20:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849361402 Patrick Reinking https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849361422 Name: Patrick Reinking

Literacy has always given me an avenue to find another universe.

I use research and lessons from past classes to write stories, mainly in fantasy fiction. I use my own education experiences as well as what I've learned throughout college to shape the way I author lesson plans and ideas. To author my own story, literacy shapes the words and thoughts that flow from what I've read before to what I'm reading now. The literacy I pull from is books, songs, art, etc. Experiences are pulled to figure out how to shape my own story in a new way.]]> 2021-10-27 20:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/autumn_a_griffin/vvd9snv9x89zyeq8/wish/1849363276
