Media Literacy
Media literacy helps us understand our own habits and deal with the constant media around us. To
increase my own media literacy, I estimated how much time I spent using media, and later tracked
how much time was spent using media. This data opened my eyes to the amount of media I exposed
myself to daily and helped me determine whether media positively or negatively affects my
everyday life. Tracking my media usage, taught me about my own habits. For instance, my initial
estimations underestimated my actual recorded times. To my surprise, I spend around one hour and
forty minutes a day on my laptop doing school work rather than the assumed one hour a day. Plus, I
mistakenly believed that I did not use my computer for any entertainment purposes. After tracking
my time, I realize I spend at least an hour on Netflix a day. Also, I failed to include my non–digital
media, textbooks, on the estimation sheet. Rather than not putting anytime into books, I spend
around two hours a day reading text. This data helped me examine that media is not always
digital, but is displayed through other mediums. The second largest section of my time was spent
on social media at an alarming time of one and a half hours daily. From these records, I concluded
that media negatively effects my everyday life. Digital media is a distraction for school work and
studying since seeking a distraction online is convenient and readily available. Too, the amount of
media I have consumed challenges my...show more content...
Through interpreting and understanding my own media habits, I have reached the critical
appreciation stage of media literacy. Now, I recognize that much of my time is spent on media,
which personally has a negative impact on me. Media will not control me, and I will watch over
my everyday media habits as I decrease my media time to hopefully produce a more positive
environment for

Who Are You As A Writer? Essay
When presented with the question, "who are you as a writer?", I was speechless at first. But after
thinking about it, I realized who I am as a writer has been influenced by so many different
sponsors throughout my life and there was not a short, concrete answer. Brandt mentions that
"literacy is sponsored by people, institutions, and circumstances that both make it possible for a
person to become literate and shape the way the person actually acquires literacy." (Brandt 43)
My attitude towards writing has been influenced by teachers, both negatively and positively, by
my mother, and by academic assignments over the years. My answer to the question can only be
answered by a narrative of my writing life. I have convinced myself that I am a terrible writer,
and when presented with a writing assignment, I get anxious instantly. I see writing as a burden
and a huge obstacle that gets placed in my life. Academic writing is not fun, but something I
value due to the fact that we are a grade driven society. When writing, I write to the guidelines in
order to receive points for the requested criteria. The reason being, I gave up on expressing my
own ideas because I had been shut down by so many teachers throughout my education. I tried to
write down what came to my mind and put my own twist on things, but that was not the "right"
way to write papers. In order to make both my teachers and my grades happy, I wrote what they
wanted to hear, and even then I was not to the level they

My Literacy Journey
Literacy plays a huge role in my daily life. Every single day I read and write. Whether it's writing
an email or reading a text message, class assignment, discussion board, etc. My literacy journey is
unique because I have had different experiences. As a result, this is how my literacy journey has
let me to be the reader that I am. I define literacy as being able to express my thoughts and
emotions. I know everyone has different opinions and emotions. Therefore, everyone will write
differently and read in a different pace. Also, everyone likes different types of books, for example
fiction or nonfiction. As a result, everyone's literacy journey is unique. Everyone has a different
definition when it comes to literacy which is what makes it special. Some prefer to read and others
prefer to write. It all depends on personal preference. A book I clearly remember is the book I read
in 6th grade. I saved up my lunch money to buy it from the book fair. There was a lot of book I
could not choose but my teacher helped me picked one. The book was torn on the edges. It had an
off–white cover with faded writing. I remember it smelling like my pumpkin spice candle I had in
my room. I also remember the book being small and easy to carry. I loved the size of it because I
could take it anywhere to read. There were times where I would stay in the classroom instead of
going out to play with my classmates. I still have the book but now its dusty and covered in
highlighter and writing. I first understood reading was important when I had to take a reading test
in elementary. I was told the test would determine whether I would move on to the next grade
level. That was when I realized I had to take reading important. I didn't like having to read 4 different
stories, but I knew I had to try my best to pass. The test results took forever to come in which made
it even scarier. Once my teacher told me I had passed I felt a huge relief. Ever since I have never
doubted the importance of reading. Alexie wrote "I read with equal parts joy and desperation." (130)
This quote had an impact on me because I could relate to it. I like Alexie also read with joy and
desperation. I believe some want to read to find and escape and imagine a

Literacy Narrative Essay example
At this point in my life I find myself in an interesting predicament regarding my attitudes toward
reading and writing; more so towards reading. Years ago I used to love reading books for pleasure
but nowadays I find myself reading things that little to no effort to digest. This includes the very
basic posts on facebook expressing one's opinion on something or articles and threads on reddit
discussing topics I find intriguing. Perhaps it's the severe senioritis that has overcome me as I
enter my last semester at Chapman University. As I've gotten lazier I can see it start to reflect in
my everyday life. Deep down I still love to read but I rarely find myself getting truly invested into
the action unless it relates to something I am very...show more content...
You can feed the mind as much as you want and it will never get full of reading. Sadly, I'm not the
same person that I was. I guess you could say it's part of growing up. It never really was
intentional but it's just the way how it ended up. On the other hand my attitudes toward writing
are very different. First let me say that deep down I truly do not like to write. I myself don't
personally like to write for leisure or pleasure but rather I write because I believe it is one of the
most important aspects of being able to communicate with those around you, both personally and
professionally. To put differently, my attitude towards writing is that I write because I need to
write and survive in the world around me. I write because I have to, not because I want to.
Hopefully this somewhat makes sense. To better explain let me make a comparison. When I am
assigned a writing assignment or I am writing because the action is being forced upon me I find
myself not enjoying the process and overall the end result is subpar. The perfect example of this
would be my junior year in high school when I was enrolled in AP english literature. I dreaded the
majority of the class simply because there was so much writing involved in the entire course and
therefore I was constantly writing just to get a grade. Being forced to write in such high volume
every week for an entire school year was not enjoyable for myself and as a result the

Conflicts and Importance of Literacy Essay
Throughout life, everyone will face challenges one way or another. Some challenges may be more
difficult than others and they may perhaps require one to do something they have never done
before but it is never impossible. Literacy is one of the most controversial issues that is talked
about and discussed throughout the world. Literacy is having the capability to read and write, and
being able to put those abilities to great use. Literacy is the first step into getting an education;
without literacy anything else that one wants to learn is nearly impossible. Learning literacy is one
of the most common challenges children with Spanish speaking parents' face, which can be a huge
disadvantage for the kids when they enter school. Literacy is...show more content...
Teaching a child literacy is not easy, it takes time and patience because kids are not always
cooperating with one another but nothing is impossible. As one can see education is something
very important for everyone in today's world. Today having education, is nothing like in the
novel 1984 where ignorance was considered strength. Ignorance is the lack of knowledge, which
means that in the novel 1984 nobody valued knowledge and it was thought to be something bad.
In the book 1984 by George Orwell a group jof people that were considered the "party" wanted to
get full control of everybody's mind, the party made sure that every individual believed everything
they would tell them. And one thing people actually ended up believing was that "Ignorance is
Strength" (Orwell, 4). People even came to believe that 2+2=5 which is obviously not true, but
with torture and bullying the party got people to believe it was true. Winston Smith is a great
example of how the Party gained full control of his mind and made him believe something that was
not true. Winston states, "In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you
would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic
of their position demanded it... And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for
thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two
make four? Or that

My Personal Experience With Literacy
Literacy is defined as being literate, that is, being able to read and write in a language. My
personal experience with literacy began at an early age, at the age of 4 when I began to sit and
read words and letters in the back of my mother's car. Soon enough, she would bring me a magazine
called "Majed" which, in the 90's, was a popular magazine. With this, I began even more interested in
reading and writing and reviewed every word in the magazine associated with each of the short
pictured stories. It was the first memory I deeply recall of literacy and it was what laid the foundation
for my personal love of reading and writing. The methodology used for this is an interview. There are
three interviews which are analyzed and brought together in the form of a narrative. This narrative
serves to better explain the emotions and thoughts that the interviewees had about the idea of literacy.
The first interviewee is one of my classmates who was asked a series of questions about literacy.
My classmates stated that "When I was child I use to wrote any words I saw in the newspaper, but
just copy the words without knows the meaning. After that my mother saw my, she asks me. Do you
know the meaning of this words? I said not, in this day, my mother start to taught me how to read
and write." When asked about which areas were most interesting my classmate stated that they read
romantic books, dramas, fantasy books, and history.
But it was not always easy for them. My classmate stated

The Essay "Why Canada Has to Beat Its Literacy Problem" by June Callwood describes the
literacy problem by telling the story about Carole Boudrias shudders when she remembers the
time she swallowed Drano because she thought it was Bromo. When people can't read it's like
being in the prison. For example, when people can't read, they can't travel very far from where they
live, because they can't ready the street signs or they can't get job opportunities to get brighter

The Early and latter stages of Literacy Development
Learning to read and write as a child is an experience that all can relate to. The average child
learns to read and write at the early ages of three and four. Developing literacy at an early age is
crucial to academic development as well as to performance in life. Early development can be just
what a child needs to stimulate their minds, which in turn is assisting in the evolution of their future.
The early and latter stages of development in a child's literacy journey are the makings for their
reading and writing skills. It also plays part in their analysis of obstacles as well as their developed or

I soon began to excel in writing the alphabet as well as short words. My mom went on to teach me
how to write my name, and I soon moved on to learn numbers. I enjoyed writing and began to
choose that over playing outside. The following year, I started school and I enjoyed learning more
than anything. I succeeded early in my classes due to my eagerness to learn. My experience with
the letter E was but a mere speed bump in the future of my literacy and it did nothing to stop me.
Secondly, One of the people most interested in my literacy performance other than my mom was
my fifth grade teacher Mr. Greg Monroe. Most students didn't appreciate his teaching style but I
did. Up until this point in my literacy development, I had excelled easily. It wasn't until I met my
teacher that year that I realized everything wasn't going to be so easy. For the first time I had to
actually study rather than to just know the information like normal. Mr. Monroe taught me that I
needed to push myself to be better than good, even if it feels like I can't. Teaching students to go
beyond the norm was Monroe's approach, and I feel as if his approach was extremely helpful as
well as encouraging. He taught students to set goals and to develop aspirations. The fifth grade is
the last stepping stone to becoming a middle school student which warrants new responsibilities for
the students. Mr Monroe made sure that students graduated from his class not only with

Essay on Reading, Writing and Literacy
I wouldn't say that I am a good writer, and I really don't like to read books either. Through my
years in school I became literate in these two categories. I was and still am not interested in
writing, or reading books in my spare time. The only writing I have ever done is for school.
Writing just does not interest me, and the only reading I do out of class is reading about sports in
magazines, or reading the news, or looking at web pages. I have only read a couple of books on my
own, 95% of all the books I have read have been for school. The reason for not writing out of class
is probably attributed to the fact that I am a very impatient person, and I have a short attention span.

The way it helps me out is if I'm starting to get bored typing a paper I don't have to leave the
computer I could go on the internet and look at ESPN for a couple of minutes and after I check
out last nights scores I can go back to writing my paper. Because of my computer literacy there are a
numerous amount of things I know I can do on a computer like listen to music, get on the internet,
check e–mail, watch a movie, talk to a friend, etc. It might take my attention away from typing but
it is only for a little bit, and then I am back to typing. In the long run I can get the assignment done
faster than just sitting in one spot with no distractions around because I will eventually step away
and start doing something else, then someone might call me to go some where and I will forget
about the paper and leave.
I myself am more of a "hands–on" type of learner; I would rather see demonstrations on what I need
to do and be told why it was done that way, and the reason for it. Some subjects don't need to be
taught with the hands–on approach. But now since I am in college the responsibility between the
teachers and myself has shifted, I now have to seek out the information instead of the teacher's
hand feeding it to me. One of my strengths is Restorative, which means that I like to solve
problems. It applies to my style of learning because if I don't understand something I do all I can to
understand it. I now

My reading experience has had a lot of ups and downs. I was never an over–achiever in my language
arts or reading classes, which has affected my passion for reading. A lot of my opinions about
reading have changed even just since this summer. I don't have any recollection of reading before
kindergarten except for learning the letters. Kindergarten was a struggle for me, but after
kindergarten to third grade. In third grade I peaked and absolutely loved reading and writing, but it
faded in middle school and has been fading since then for me.

It was sixth grade and an advanced English class was chosen. I was discouraged because I actually
enjoyed reading and writing but found out I wasn't smart enough to be in that class. However, I
would say that seventh grade was my favorite year of English. We still had vocabulary, which I wish
we still did because I always have boring essays because I don't remember the words we learned. I
wouldn't say that I disliked reading yet in middle school. I'd even say the most exciting part of
middle school would be reading The Hunger Games with Mrs. Young, especially since she was kind
of a nerd and got overly excited about all of our

Proposal On Adult Literacy
Final Proposal
Introduction:
Little is known for acquiring literacy. As Quigley (1997) claimed, we actually barely know about
those who were studied in the literacy studies. According to a study conducted by the U.S.
Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, 32 million adults in the U.S. can't
read. That's about 14 percent of the population. It is a call for researchers to draw attention on
developing adult literacy program. Admittedly, many articles discuss about adult literacy levels and
their participation in a general view (Kutner, Greenberg, & Baer, 2005; U.S. Department of
Education Co–operation and Development), but this article intends to focus on a case study of low
literacy adult learners in ESL (English as a second language) reading context. The main point of this
research was to observe how the reading acquisition happened in LLA (Low Literacy Adult). Are
there any useful learning strategies for LLA reading? In broad prospect, the research eagers to
enlighten those who teach and instruct ESL adult learners.
Literature:
1.Discussion about Literacy
Literacy is a fundamental social skill in our life. Many past studies of adult literacy have tried to
count the "low literacy" in the U.S, evaluating literacy as a simple checklist that individuals either
do or do not have, however, the definition of the literacy are still argued in the teaching field that
many researchers think it's too simple to narrow down the literacy into rigid categories.

The Literacy Narrative
The literacy narratives were not only a means to base where my writing skills are at, but take in
information about people I barely know. Amongst my group, I would have to say the two foreign
students had my attention indefinitely the entire time, because I was intrigued to hear about their
journey to the U.S. The both of them had suffered great culture shock and went through the tedious
process of learning American English. I can only assume that the difficulty was astronomical at first,
due to the fact that we don't speak proper English a majority of the time, which conflicts with the
rigid learning that comes with learning a secondary language. It's something about that culture shock
that interests me as it shows a certain determination

The Importance of Information Literacy Essay
Information literacy skills are used for academic purposes, such as research papers and group
presentations. They are used on the job–the ability to find, evaluate, use and share information is an
essential skill. They are also used in consumer decisions, such as which car or vacuum cleaner to
purchase, are critical. Last but not least, they are used by informed citizens in participating fully in a
democratic society through voting (Kenney, 2007).

and the information environment becomes increasingly complex, educators are recognizing the need

They know where to look for the answer to both the common everyday information needs and for
the answer to the more perplexing, less–easily–addressed, problems of life. They are familiar not just
with where to look but also with the tools and processes required to find those answers. Zabel
(2007) points out that efforts to train students to be adept at attaining information through a variety
of mechanisms must be "integrated, relevant, ongoing, collaborative, and applied" if they are to be
successful in preparing those students for success in their academic and professional careers (Zabel
,2007).
For students to be adequately informed about the value of the university library and resources such
as the Internet in information retrieval there must be a careful collaboration between teaching staff
and library staff (Kenney, 2007). The focus in this task, of course, is preparing students not just for
the immediate research project at hand but rather to prepare them to be life long learners, to prepare
them to be successful and productive once they leave the academic environment and take up their
chosen careers (Lauer & Yodanis, 2012).
A search for information can take a variety of routes. It might entail a visit to the university library or
to some other organization that maintains information on a particular subject. Academic libraries are
indeed a critical tool in information

Most of the employers out there put all of their information online and to be able to apply for that
job, you have to use a computer. That applies to submitting your resume as well. The days of
going from business to business, filling out applications and turning in resumes are long gone.
Nowadays when you go to a business to apply for a job, they tell you to go online to their website
and apply there. Being digitally literate also relates to the everyday things that we do such as reading
the newspaper or a magazine or even writing a letter. Most newspapers and magazines can be
found online today and that can make things easier for us in our day to day lives. With that
technology, we no longer have to carry around some giant newspaper or even a magazine. We have
the ability to put them on our computers of even an iPad and access them from anywhere that you
have internet access. Plus having this technology allows us to be able to search for certain articles
without having to scan through an entire newspaper or magazine. Along with having the ability to
read newspapers and magazines digitally, those companies are also adding more pictures and links
that just add that much more to the stories. Even the newspaper companies such as the New York
Times have evolved with this digital trend by adding more color photos, charts, different fonts and
even colored fonts in an attempt to make their publications more attractive. While there are

The Importance of Literacy Essay
Is it important to be a literate person in today's society? The ability to function well depends on
whether or not a person is literate and can comprehend what is going on around them. If a person
doesn't have the basic ability to read, they will feel the stress and dependency on others because of
their illiteracy. Illiteracy is a big problem because without the knowledge of reading, illiterate people
can't perform daily tasks and responsibilities in daily life. When all it would take is a mere two
minutes out of your day, don't you think illiteracy can be helped or even extinguished? In today's
society illiterate people are looked at as "half–citizens" (Kozol 190). They are dependent on literate
people to function daily. Think...show more content...
The problem is not only that illiterate people are dependent on others, it's also that the literate,
well–functioning people of society aren't always willing to put forth help. Help may only take a
few minutes out of someone's day, and to them be no big deal. For an illiterate person, those few
minutes may be the defining of their lives. As an example, I will talk briefly about my cousin,
born into a broken home and forced to deal with illiteracy on a daily basis. Steven was brought up
in a bad neighborhood and raised by the streets. His family simply didn't care about anything other
than how they would afford their next bottle of booze or pack of cigarettes. Growing up, he was
never told he had to go to school; therefore, he only went on occasion. His lack of schooling in his
younger years took its toll on him by the time he hit high school. Living in a bad neighborhood and
brought up by gangs, Steven's life was in a bad condition.
After dropping out of high school in his sophomore year, Steven attempted to get a job, but
without a diploma or a license this was just close to impossible for him. In desperate need of a
job, to support his growing family, Steven took to the streets and made money the only way he
knew how. After several months, he was living the good life, until the day came that changed his
life forever. He ended up selling drugs to an undercover police officer and was sent to jail for three
years.

Reflection On Academic Reading
Reading is one of my favorite pastimes. I am a tuned–in Reader, and I appreciate well written
biographies. Enjoyable reading takes my mind off school work and relaxes me. I enjoy academic
reading as well, but sometimes it is intense and requires much concentration. Moreover, I am a
tuned in reader when it comes to academic subject's such as; psychology, nutrition, health and
history. Every spare moment I have; I pick up a book or magazine, and get carried away, by the
text. I visualize the story and its' characters as if, the story is taking place right next to me.
Furthermore, I predict the outcomes of the stories and pose questions in my mind about the
characters. I enjoy reading biographies about famous people like Charles Dickens and Anne
Frank. Additionally, I enjoy reading short stories and magazines such as; Binah, Ami, and
Mishpachah. I am fascinated by the astounding articles in the Ami. For example, the article about
a "Journey to North Korea", makes me feel as if I had experienced it myself. Academic reading
gives me a sense of accomplishment and joy. Generally, I am a tuned in reader, when it comes to
reading information. When I am reading, I analyze and visualize the ideas of the passage. When I
stop and think of what I am reading, it enhances my level of comprehension. My appreciation is also
increased, to understand and learn new information. Furthermore, I enjoy taking my academic
reading to a different level, by discussing and asking questions to my

Literacy Narrative
Can you remember what your teacher taught you back in kindergarten? Chances are she was
introducing you to the basics of reading and writing. Literacy is the ability to read and write, and
because I did not think I was very good at either of the two, it had never been my favorite thing to
do. It wasn't until my senior year of high school that I had an English class that I actually enjoyed.
My teacher was Ms. Holly Eubanks. The past classes had boasted about how good of a teacher Ms.

Literacy Is The Definition Of Literacy
To myself, the definition of literacy is having the ability and means to read and/or write. Although
this seems as though it is a stereotypical and common definition, I have found during the course of
my life that this definition holds to be true to my personal being. When I was younger, I used to think
literacy was simply the literacy book that we read out of during English class. The more that I grew,
the more I realized that literacy was having the ability to read the book– not the book itself. While in
junior high, my English course was referred to as a literacy course. During this course, we learned
on what basis literacy forms. The teacher explained that literacy is not the words on the page;
literacy is having the means of reading the words, and having the ability to comprehend what
exactly it is that we were reading. Though this seems similar to cultural literacy, it is actually quite
different. Cultural literacy is having the ability to comprehend and participate fluently in a
particular culture, whereas literacy is just having the ability and means to read and/or write in
general. I do not personally feel as though there was one single event that gave me a well–rounded
definition of literacy or cultural literacy. Rather, it has been throughout the course of my education
that brought me to my definition of what literacy is and how one acquires the abilities involved in
it. Some say that there is a point in their lives in which they become "conscious" of literacy,

Literature, Literacy, and Language Acquisition all play a major role not only specifically for
learning but also in society. The definition of literacy in the past focused only on the ability to read
and write print text, but the definition of literacy is no longer static. It is evolving to reflect society
and technology making literacy a vital component in any environment. Literacy in the modern
world is the ability to read, write, design, speak, listen and view in a way that allows you to
communicate successfully. Nevertheless, literacy is the ability to read and write. To build a
relationship with literacy in both children and adults we need to have a clear grasp of how we
learnt to speak or how we knew what to say, and, when to say...show more content...
Literature does not just stop at reading a book. Here in Australia, the National Curriculum insures
children will learn from literature from spoken, written and oral texts including Aboriginal stories,
picture books, various types of print and digital texts, simple chapter books, rhyming verse, poetry,
non–fiction, film, multimodal texts and dramatic performances (www.australiancurriculum.edu.au).
Literature is an important part of teaching children to read and comprehending language in many
forms. Keeping children engaged and learning from different forms of literature is essential for
education and society. Society is built on Literature. We like to read others' stories, share and learn
from their experience and this is the same for children too. Children reacts to literature in a living
way, an inspiring story creates a great influence for the child where as one of questions ignites their
curiosity and drives their need for information further. Literature therefore is forever building
knowledge and inspiration no matter what your age is.
There are many theories regarding Language Acquisition and in the 1960s, linguist Noam Chomsky
proposed a revolutionary idea: We are all born with an innate knowledge of grammar that serves as
the basis for all language acquisition. In
