Everything you provide as an educator is medicine, so make sure it heals #RILE2020 #DrLindaTuhiwaiSmith

Your phone will not stop working in you close out social media apps and open up Google and type the question you just asked a Black woman online. Also libraries have free e-books right now. Go research.

A3: literacy seemed like a stiff concept before this course, now I feel like literacies is all about what u know and how u know it! and how important it is to know #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

A2: It’s important for students to know why they find information from certain sources trustworthy or untrustworthy. In #Spanish, we can think critically view how American media portrays people who speak languages other than English. #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

A1: I want to use newer forms of media for learning (instagram, tiktok, YouTube) to show that language use is community based and move away from a Eurocentric view of Spanish, while acknowledging its European origins. #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

They sing songs, tell jokes, talk about their emotions, they do all kinds of things

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

A4: literacy is more than just seeing the words in your head when you read, by restricting literacy to just knowing how to read words on a page, we miss out on the kinds of information processing that students do all the time #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

A3: teaching standards that uphold dominant literacy practices can help students navigate the dominant culture and at best find security/stability BUT with this comes erasure of personality and history #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

A2: learning “correctness” does not require critical thinking or interrogation of one’s world, it only reinforces present power structures #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

A1: writing and performing short poems in Spanish ! #worldlanguages #schmiteracies

Q1: What might student self-expression look like in your #content area? #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

the “textual dexterity” of young people is their ability to evolve their language, change it depending on how they want to express themselves, code switch if need be #schmiteracies

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A4: I've consumed and enjoyed 1000s of hrs of TV/Movies/books/etc (from "dominant" culture) that contributed to my worldview BUT my lived experiences and interactions mean that the understandings these texts developed in me are more nuanced than what was presented.#schmiteracies

@colinlowyc this is ... an incredible tweet ✨

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

A5: lots of language, culture, and literacy involved in tweeting! #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

outside of school, I see this on tiktok, where in order to appear cool/funny, nonBlack people co-opt AAVE #schmiteracies

[Lucy Wenstrup @lwenstru]

A4: I think “codes and cultures in dominant spheres” are in many ways introduced in schools, where language becomes an indicator of class, race, ethnicity, intelligence, etc. in order to appear a certain way, the “correct” language is appropriated.
