- Reflections on Framing Literacy 7,
Bridging the gap between academic and functional / world literacy is an issue
I have great interest in. We do not teach note writing or grocery lists, memos
nor limericks, well maybe the last one we do teach at times but doesn’t
that just seem a little out of place? We teach something which is almost totally
without functional transference –the limerick- and no work on writing
and or describing driving directions. In my class, with my kids I want to change
that.
There are teachers who feel they need to have their kids begin every composition
with “I am going to write a composition for my teacher…” though
I think it drives the creative spirit out of them, I can respect the ability
to stick to it day after day, plodding along.
Though most of my writing is heuristic, I see the need for balance in writing
and see the many facets or faces writing can take, page 45 Framing Literacy.
