Chrissy apologized for her public tweets, but after her apology, Mr Costello fabricated a DM exchange between them. This exchange was made up, completely fake, never happened. Receipts below:

A3: Literacies aren't a single act or A set of texts; they are the way we read (& interact) with the world. Incorporating lits into class is a dynamic process that means always interrogating the needs & knowledge of my #ELA students to make lessons useful/engaging #schmiteracies

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A2 #schmiteracies: BUT, as Boyd warns, literacies like tech use can be dangerous algorithm rabbit holes if not accompanied by understandings of critical reading & cultural humility. #ELA can make media lit an asset by developimg this baseline of empathy, care & critical thought.

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A1: Rn classes & work are on the same devices as IG browsing & TV streaming...school & home aren't clearly separated...classes (#ELA) rely on different literacies: tech use, online msgs, etc. and engaging students means making this list even more expansive. #schmiteracies

[*le 🏳️‍🌈 @Sea_sah]

A3: Over the course of this class, I've changed my understanding of literacies away from traditional notions (fluency, spelling, vocabulary, etc.) to include interdisciplinary, creative forms of expression #schmiteracies

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A4: Reducing literacy to a list of tasks flattens out the individual literacies students hold. Beginning with giving credit to students for established skills/knowledge expands notions of reading rather than forcing students to fit in a narrow category of reader. #schmiteracies

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A3: School should expand cultural competencies:. standards should:
- layout required dominant lit practices
- est groundwork for validating/incorporating lit practices students engage with/use everyday
Only doing the first ignores the knowledge students bring. #schmiteracies

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A2: "Correctness" is easier to grade/test for than self-expression but developing independent, 21st century learners requires both students and educators to be engaged in critical thought that goes beyond unquestioningly internalizing correctness. ALWAYS ASK WHY #schmiteracies

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A1: Fanfics, autoethnographies, authentic prompts, self-selected readings, lived-experience-driven discussions, & explicitly valuing literacies/linguistic skills...#ELA classes can do all this and more to empower students' development with this message:
#schmiteracies let you

The ability to write/read/communicate in different modes and for various purposes is textual dexterity. EVERYONE does this all the time and acknowledging that + bringing this practice into classrooms revitalizes their usefulness and appeal centering engagement and growth.

@twitt3racies Unfortunately never read the books, but the show's themesong still gives me...well... goosebumps to this day😂

A5 Literacy goes well beyond reading words on a page. It is about having the tools to succeed in a certain situation. Beyond reading literacy, we can think about cultural, financial, linguistic literacy, just to name a few #schmiteracies

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A5: My takeaway from today is that twitter discussions are difficult but can raise some interesting points. (Tweeting is a literacy I'm still developing) #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

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A3: By teaching #English Language Arts, we can confront and dismantle narrow understandings of literacy. Students' knowledge can be valued as they enter class already experts in various forms of language use and reading. #schmiteracies

[Maria_bookworm @Mariabookworm1]

A2: Literacy is the reading of texts (whether those be books and movies or convos and situations) so of course our knowledge of language and culture shape our literacies. How we "read" is bases on how we communicate and live.

A1: I'm a first gen low income Latinx student and growing up I read Princess Academy by Shannon Hale and loved Miri for taking her education and bettering the lives of her community. Teaching all the adults of Mt Eskel to read makes her a boss 📚#schmiteracies
