Well we finally started our literacies project. (Is there a correct way to spell the plural of literacy?) And I can only imagine how diverse all of our project are, I am sure that once we begin to work on our other parts of the project it will get even more diverse.
While working on my literacy narrative one of the aspects of it that struck me the most is the diversity of my literacy background. It seems to me that the literacies of my life are completely intertwined and interweaved to the extent that every advanced literacy, such as understanding poetry and the ability to drive a car, is completely dependent on more basic literacies, like the ability to read and follow directions. It also seems to me that not only do all of my literacies simply influence each other, but all of my literacies influence each other to the extent that I have a set of experiences and understandings that are completely different than any one else’s could be. This concept and understanding of individuality is very interesting to me, and although I had never looked at it in this light before it seems very true and accurate.
