Literacy Pieces

For this elective term "Book Bound" I worked on assignments that introduce the history of literacy and what literacy is really about. The assignments I chose were the literary journal which was worked on as a group, we all shared a story and a drawing about a topic we all liked. The storyboard is a website, where you create your own story. I created a story about reading in a school that means reading is important and it's as big as education. The literary poster that I made is to show what a high school report is and the grades of the classes here at GCE, which they're false. The slide show of the book we chose for the canon is explaining what the book is about and what are the great things about it. The most challenging thing was putting everything together. What I am most proud of is completing my assignments and using them for this Action Project.

The Literacy Journal

The literacy journal was created by a group of students which I was in. The purpose of this journal was to give out our opinions and old memories about old TV shows. What I did was choose a lot of my favorite old TV shows that were taken away and describe what I really missed about them and why I want them back. The most challenging thing was creating a poem of one of my old time favorite TV shows that stopped running.

The slideshow canon was to pick a favorite book and describe it. The point of this slideshow was to give the audience to say yes to your book to be put in the library in the new space. The book that I chose was The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part-Time Indian. The reason why I chose this book was because I read it multiple times and because it as a humorous background story to the book. I like that it's relevant to a lot of teenagers and give advice about school and culture. The book is based off of poverty, alcoholism, violence, despair and lightened with lots of humor.




The Literary Poster

The literary poster I made was to show the percentage of reading in each class. The classes represented are GCE classes but not the actual percentages. I chose to do this guiding question because I think that the world struggles with a lot of economical and education problems. "Does reading increase your salary?" It's a question that will be unanswered because there's plenty of different answers that don't add up to why or how. To me I think that it does because without having the ability to read and write will not get you no where, therefore it's harder for the person who is illiterate to do things than a person who s literate and does know how to do things.

The Storyboard

The storyboard that I created was to show the different scenes that happen in real life in school. I think that reading does increase your salary if you put your mind and effort to it. I included the school scenes because it fits perfect with what my topic is about and what I am trying to explain. I chose this topic because it's something that should be brought up in middle school so students can keep in mind that reading is really important for you and your life goals. There's six story board pieces explaining how and what a student goes through and what really is said in class.
