literacy

In my opinion of literacy is has to do with reading and being able to read I guess. And as for the 21 century once again I’d have to say it means being able to read like books and stuff. I do think that the English classroom should try experimenting with other forms rather than books because at times books I think can get boring and so it would be nice to bring variety and allow the material to be seen through different compositions. Although it may be more practical to just rely on the scholarly writing, it is sometimes nice to be able to look at other sorts of things such as blogs and what not. I think that in the English classroom is a great place where you should be able to experiment because English can tend to me boring to many. And to have to stick with the same genres of academic writings, it can make it seem boring and not as fun. But if you make it to where one can choose to experiment in the classroom then this might bring enthusiasm and intrigue the student to actually want to do the work and learn something new.
