- Reflections on Framing Literacy 5,
Chapter 4 of Framing Literacy talks about literacy and cultural diversity and
how it relates to background knowledge and schema.
If anyone needs activation of background knowledge it’s my kids.
First on the cultural variance of this country in which we reside and more
importantly (if they are distinguishable) according to administration they
need acculturation and help in activating something that might link to
the TAAS test.
One thing I can do is activate the test schema as it relates to video games
and cartoons. Most games and animated shows have some sort of quest at their
core. The TAAS is a sort of a quest by the state to see who does well and
who needs more work. They hear so much about the TAAS you would think that
it is a living thing.
If my students develop into successful readers the TAAS holds few pitfalls.
