@LinMcCarthy7 Questioning “the dominant ways of constructing knowledge” — really love this💪🏼 And, in WL, I imagine Ss will have to lean to question both the “dominant ways” of their existing background, and the “dominant ways” in the TL/culture...🤯🤪😱
@ZachDorsen Yeah..... If you’re surfing around French sites/media, trying to pick up French language/culture... but it’s all NEW, so you dont really know HOW to interpret it, except from your own background culture’s lens.... How do you develop that “criticality” needed?! 🤯
A4: This guide is all about what the student CANT do according to a TEACHER’S definition of what “being literate” means for her. Doesn’t take info acct what the Ss CAN do already. #schmiteracies
A3: Helpful as a springboard for ideas, esp if you’re new to the profession and unsure where to start. Harmful as a binding requirement that doesn’t allow for, well, adjustment to genuine forms of student self-expression! #schmiteracies
@alejandra_step Oooo, I appreciate you bringing up this added layer of what literacy practices might look like depending on your background in the #WL!
A4: The way school seemed to want me to respond to compliments (“thank you”) was exactly what I was taught NOT to do at home (it’s rude!). Do I defy home or raise red flags at school? #schmiteracies
