In this blog post I will be Reflecting on What is Literacy? (James Paul Gee) and creating found poetry trying to take out the meanings of the full readings for To You, I Belong (Becky Thompson), Our Discourse Community Values, and We Are Many (Pablo Neruda). What is Literacy? (James Paul Gee) Reflection-
This writing is about a linguists named James Paul Gee who discuses different ways to define discourse and how the meaning could fluctuate. He talks about power and how using standard Academic language is the dominant discourse and can bring you closer to earning goods and resources with a better chance then if you are apart of the black vernacular discourse. Which is the language that most African American middle class-man used to use. Gee also talks about the difference between learning and acquiring. Learning is something that takes time because you are not around these things everyday and you're trying to learn to remember and use what you're learning properly. Acquiring is something you get from just being around it. Such as your first language.

This blog is me showing the well being of my digital portfolio for this website. I will post a picture of a chart that my professor gave us to evaluate the well being of our website so that it is created to be the best that it can be to our ability.
In this blog post, I will focus on reflecting on some of the things I learned in my English 100 class. I will be sharing my opinion on what I have learned about my author identity, my theory of writing, my growth as a writer, and my knowledge transfer to future writing situations. Here is a link to a video I used to help me make my blog post. Reflective Writing
